ADDED EFFECT OF PROPRIOCEPTIVE NEUROMUSCULAR FACILITATION TECHNIQUE WITH MAITLAND MOBILISATION TECHNIQUE IN PERIARTHRITIS OF SHOULDER

Abstract

Background: Periarthritis of shoulder is a chronic inammatory disorder of shoulder and surrounding soft tissues, characterized by insidious and progressive pain & restriction of both active and passive glenohumeral joint motion in all planes. To assess the effect of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitati Objective: on & Maitland Mobilisation in Periarthritis of shoulder. To compare the added effect of PNF with Maitland Mobilisation in Periarthritis of shoulder. 30 Patients diagnosed with stage I & II Method: periarthritis of shoulder were included in the study. Group A which is control group received IFT for 10 minutes, hot pack, Maitland grade 3& 4 end range mobilization for shoulder to improve external rotation, abduction, and exion. Group B which is experimental group received same conventional treatment as group A along with PNF technique for 3 weeks. At the end of 3rd week, posttest evaluation comprising of active ROM measurements, strength by taking MMT, & SPADI was taken for both the groups. It was found that ther Results: e was signicant increase in ROM and decrease in SPADI score within both the groups i. e. control and experimental. Study proved Conclusion: that PNF combined with conventional treatment helps to improve range of motion and function of shoulder joint in stage I & II of periarthritis of shoulder. So the technique can be incorporated with the conventional protocol for the management of above condition.
