Abstract

Background

Adhesive capsulitis, pain and decrease in range of motion are correlated with each other. This study was undergone to see the effect of traction verses counter traction with conservative treatment in adhesive capsulitis subjects.

Objectives

  1. To determine the effect of traction on adhesive capsulitis.

  2. To determine the effect of counter traction on adhesive capsulitis

Method

An Experimental study was conducted at Krishna College of Physiotherapy, Karad. 40 subjects with age group between 40–60 years were selected. A total of 40 subjects were equally divided into two groups. Both the groups received conservative treatment such as hot moist pack, Ultrasound, TENS, exercises. In addition, Group A received traction and Group B received Counter traction.

Results

On comparing both groups, counter traction (Group B) shown significant reduction in pain and improvement in range of motion for shoulder flexion and abduction.

Conclusion

Present study concluded that counter traction with conventional treatment shown to have significant improvement in pain and functional disability than traction with conventional treatment in adhesive capsulitis subjects.
