EFFECT OF NON-THRUST OSCILLATORY TECHNIQUE VS NON-THRUST SUSTAINED JOINT- PLAY TECHNIQUE FOR PATIENT SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC PERIARTHRITIS SHOULDER

Abstract

Background: Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder, is a condition associated with shoulder pain and stiffness. There is a loss of the ability to move the shoulder, both voluntarily and by others, in multiple directions. Hence this study was carried out the most effective among non-thrust oscillatory technique and non-thrust sustained joint lay technique in periarthritis shoulder. The study the effect of non-thrust oscillatory technique vs non-thrust sustained joint- play technique for chronic periarthritis shoulder. Methodology: Thirty patients were selected for this study and randomly divided into two groups A and B. Group A were received non-thrust oscillatory technique as well as Group B were received non thrust sustained joint play technique. Treatment was given 3 times per week, for 6 consecutive weeks for forty-five days with a session last for 20-25 minutes. The shoulder movement ranges were assessed by universal goniometer, before and after intervention was recorded and documented. According to this study, we only consider shoulder abduction movement, both techniques were performed and its range of motion (ROM) is measured using universal goniometer. Result: Patients in both groups improved significantly in all of the assessed parameters over the course of treatment; nevertheless, patients who got the non-thrust sustained joint play technique improved the most. All assessed variables recovered significantly more in patients who used the non-thrust sustained joint play approach than in those who used the non-thrust oscillatory technique, based on between-group comparisons. Conclusion: The result shows that the most effective technique is non-thrust sustained joint play technique.
