Abstract Background: Adhesive Capsulitis is a painful condition in which there is progressive fibrosis and contracture of the glenohumeral joint, which results in restriction of both active and passive range of motion in all planes of glenohumeral joint. External rotation and abduction are more restricted due to capsular pattern involvement. Aim: The study aims to compare the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique and glenohumeral capsular stretching on pain and disability in individuals affected by adhesive capsulitis. Methodology: Total duration of the study will be one and a half year. A minimum of 45 subjects will be selected for the study between the age group of 40 to 60 years. The subjects will be divided into 3 groups with each group having 15 subjects. Group A (Control group) subjects will be treated with moist hot pack, Interferential therapy(4 pole, vector 45 for 15 minutes). ultrasound (1 Mhz at 1w/cm') and conventional exercises (Codman exercises, Wall Ladder and Shoulder Pulley) Group B (Experimental group): subjects will be treated with moist hot pack, Interferential therapy, Continuous Ultrasound and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique (Rhythmic Initiation).Group C (Experimental Group) Subjects will be treated with moist hot pack, Interferential therapy, Ultrasound and Glenohumeral Capsular Stretching. Total 12 sessions of physiotherapy treatment will be given to the subjects for three weeks i.e. 6 sessions in each week. The data will be recorded on Day1(pre intervention), Day 6th(post intervention) and Day 12th (post intervention). Result: Statistical study revealed that by the 12th day all the three groups (A,B and C) showed significant improvement in reducing pain and disability. Conclusion: The present study concludes that the Glenohumeral capsular stretching was more effective in reducing pain and disability than Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation technique in individuals with adhesive capsulitis.
