Vishal Deep
Final Year BPTh
Introduction
• It is a clinical syndrome characterized with painful restriction of both
active and passive shoulder movements
Medical Management
• Corticosteroid injections are often used to manage
inflammation as it is understood that inflammation is a key
factor in the early stages of the conditio Methyl-prednisolonee
and Triamicinolone
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)have
traditionally been given to patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Ibuprofen Naproxen
• Oral steroids have also been utilised in these patients and
result in some improvement in function, but their effects have
not shown long term benefits and combined with their known
adverse side effects
• Manipulation under anaesthesia
Manipulation under anesthesia involves a controlled and forced,
end range positioning of the humerus relative to the glenoid in
physiologic planes of motion in patients with an anesthetic block
to the brachial plexus
• Translation Mobilization under anaesthesia
This dureedure involves the use of gliding techniques with static
end range capsular stress with a short amplitude high velocity
thrust, if needed, as opposed to the angular stretching forces in
manipulation under anesthesia.
Surgical Management
• Arthroscopic capsular release
Arthroscopic capsular release is the preferred method over open
release in patients with painful, disabling adhesive capsulitis that
is unresponsive to at least 6 months of non-operative treatment
Physiotherapy Management
Short term goals
1. Patient and family education
2. Reduce pain
3. Improve range of motion
4. Improve muscle strength
Long term goals
1. Maintain Range of motion
2. Maintain muscle strength
3. To make the patient functionally independent to perform his ADL
4. Ergonomic Advice
5. Home program
Patient and Family education
• For the treatment of adhesive capsulitis, patient education is
essential in helping to reduce frustration and encourage
compliance.
• . It is also helpful to give quality instructions to the patient and
create an appropriate home exercise program that is easy to
comply with as daily exercise is critical in relieving symptoms.
To reduce pain
• Ultrasound – continuous mode
• Chronic conditions initially 0.8 Wcm2 For 4 mins
• Hot pack – muscle relaxation
• Maitland Mobilization grade I and II
To improve range of motion
• Passive Range of motion exercise
• Mobilization
• Active assisted Exercise
• Active Exercise
• Stretching
• Aquatic therapy
• Mobilization
Maitland Mobilization
Posterior glide to improve flexion range
Inferior glide to improve Abduction range
Maitland mobilization grade I and II for pain relief
grade III and IV to improve ROM
Stretching
to increase shoulder flexion with elevation
• To increase external rotation
To improve Abduction
• Wand exercise
• FLEXION
• EXTENSION
• ABDUCTION
• ADDUCTION
Internal and external rotation
To improve muscle strength
• Isometrics
• Isometrics at different
Angles
Rotator cuff strengthening-
three times per week, 8 to 12 repetitions for three sets
• Closed-chain isometric strengthening with the elbow
flexed to 90 degrees and the arm at the side.
• Progress to open-chain strengthening with Therabands,Weight
cuff,Sand bags,springs
• Theraband exercises permit concentric and eccentric strengthening of
the shoulder muscles and are a form of isotonic exercises
(characterized by variable speed and fixed resistance)
• Progress to light isotonic dumbbell exercises
• Internal rotation.
• External rotation
Strengthening of scapular stabilizers
• Closed-chain strengthening exercises
• Scapular retraction (rhomboideus, middle trapezius).
• Scapular protraction (serratus anterior)
• Scapular depression (latissimus dorsi, trapezius, serratus anterior).
• Shoulder shrugs (trapezius, levator scapulae).
• Progress to open-chain strengthening
• Deltoid strengthening
• Progressing to open chain strengthening
• Progressive resisted exercise
. Delorme protocol
Home program
• Pendular exercise
• Wall exercise
• Aquatic therapy
• Wand exercise
• Press ball againts wall
• Writing on board
Ergonomic advice
• Depending upon the occupation of the patient
• Advice
1. Avoid jerky movement or stretching
2. Avoid lifting heavy weights
3. Avoid Hand shakes
4. Avoid any impact
