OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of dynamic exercise and closed kinematic exercise combined with stretching in adhesive capsulitis. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Adhesive capsulitis is a condition characterized by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. It is a painful and disabling disorder of unclear cause in which the shoulder capsule, the connective tissue surrounding the shoulder becomes inflamed and stiff, restricting ROM and causing chronic pain. METHODOLOGY: This was an experimental study design with pre-post test. 30 samples were selected from 45 volunteers based on the inclusion criteria. Group A -- dynamic exercise with stretching, group B -- closed kinematic exercise with stretching, SWD is commonly given to the patients for 1 week. RESULT(S): The result concludes both the groups showed improvement while group A received dynamic exercise with stretching was comparatively better than the group B received closed kinematic exercise with stretching.
