Abstract
Objective: The objective of study was to find the effectiveness of muscle energy techniques (METs) in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
 Methodology: Study was conducted in population of Sargodha seeking physiotherapy treatment for adhesive capsulitis in physiotherapy rehabilitation departments and centers. Study was randomized, controlled and multicenter. 50 patients were selected by inclusion and exclusion criteria and were divided into two groups by lottery method of randomization. Group I obtained muscle energy technique. Group II was controlled that obtained conventional treatment in the form of heat and range of motion exercises. Duration of study was 06 month. Interventions were carried out for two weeks (total 10 sessions). A baseline measurement was taken on shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI). A post intervention measurement was taken on same outcome measurements tools and was compared by independent t test.
 Results: The pre intervention measurements on Shoulder Pain Disability Index were 61.11 in control and 61.18 in METs group. The post intervention measurements on Shoulder Pain Disability Index were 49.33in control and 27.69 in METs group.
 Conclusion: This study concluded that METs techniques are effective in treatment of adhesive capsulitis to decrease the pain and disability in comparison to control groups.

This study concluded that muscle energy techniques (METs) techniques are effective in treatment of adhesive capsulitis to decrease the pain and disability in comparison to control groups
Range of age of participants was from 31.0 to 69.0 years. 30 (40%) males and 45 (60%) females were included in this study. 43 patients were with right adhesive capsulitis and 32 were with left adhesive capsulitis
Summary
Duplay was the first who identified frozen shoulder as a “periarthritis” in 1872 [1]. After that Codman labeled this condition “frozen shoulder” in 1935 [2]. In 1945 termed “adhesive capsulitis” was originated by Neviaser. He identified that pathology is in capsule of joints. There is formation of adhesions in capsule of the joints and synovial fluid became thick [3]. It is recognized as inflammatory or fiberosing condition of shoulder joint. Frozen shoulder and adhesive capsulitis are two terms that are interchangeable in literature
