Non-randomized trial assesses pain reduction and shoulder function in patients with adhesive capsulitis, suggesting PNF may enhance recovery.
This protocol describes a multimodal physiotherapy approach combining Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), capsular stretching, and rotator cuff strengthening exercises for individuals with adhesive capsulitis, evaluated through a pre-test post-test non-randomized trial. The intervention is administered over six weeks with outcome measures including NPRS, goniometer-based ROM, SPADI, and MMT. The expected results are significant reductions in pain, improved shoulder range of motion, enhanced rotator cuff strength, and better functional performance. These findings may support integrated therapeutic strategies for managing adhesive capsulitis in clinical practice.
