ABSTRACT
| Background of the study: Frozen shoulder was defined as an idiopathic condition of the shoulder characterized by the spontaneous onset of pain along with restriction of movement in all directions. It was considered a distinct clinical diagnosis involving painful limitation of shoulder motion resulting from capsular fibrosis. In this study, two groups were treated using different techniques: one group received Muscle Energy Technique (MET), while the other group underwent Static Stretching. Objective of the study is to find the effect of muscle energy techniques over static stretching among patients with frozen shoulder. Methodology: A group of 30 participants full filling the inclusion criteria were selected and divided into two groups A and B. All participants of Male subjects were with Age between 40 – 60 years, Pain in the shoulder region, Patient with frozen shoulder were included in the study. The study design was quasi-experimental.The study type was comparative. The study was conducted in the outpatient department of the Faculty of Physiotherapy at ACS Medical College and Hospital Campus. The sample size consisted of 30 subjects. The sampling method used was random sampling. The study duration was 6 months. The treatment duration was 6 weeks, Each subject received three treatment sessions per week. Outcome tools used were Goniometer, VAS and SPADI scale. Result: On comparing pre and post test using MET and Static Stretching, 30 within group A and group B. both groups showed statistically significant improvements in all measured outcomes with P-values < 0.0001, indicating that both interventions were effective. However, Group A (MET) demonstrated greater mean differences across all variables, with statistically significant superiority over Group B. Conclusion: From the research and statistical analysis , the study concluded that Muscle Energy Techniques is more effective than Static Stretching in reducing pain , improving Rom and enhance functional activity.
