Abstract
Abstract: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) can be defined as a common condition characterized by insidious and gradual inflammation of the glenohumeral joint capsule leading to its contracture and thus resulting in stiffness and loss of shoulder mobility. The disease causes slowly increasing pain and gradually decreasing range of motion (ROM), creating difficulty performing daily activities. Treatments advocated for AC include rehabilitation as the initial conservative measure, anti-inflammatory drugs, intra-articular corticosteroids, capsular distension injections, and surgical interventions The purpose is to review literatures on the effectiveness of strengthening and stretching exercise along with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques to reduce pain and improve shoulder ROM in AC.
