Abstract:
Adhesive capsulitis is often described by restricted glenohumeral elevation and external rotation, together with unremarkable radiographic findings, are also observed. The condition is commonly reported burden of middle age between 40 and 65 and is rare in children age group and in manual workers with it being slightly more common in women (3.38 women and 2.36 men per thousand person years). Nowadays, there are many intervention options that are accessible for PAS, manipulation under anaesthesia which the shoulder is freed by rotation while the patient is under short general anaesthesia. This can be undertaken as a day procedure, exercise therapy, electrotherapy, hydrotherapy etc as well as pharmacotherapy and surgery. The present study was done to compare sub- acromial and rotator interval approach of corticosteroid injection in patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint and evaluate the improvement in the ROM in such patients.
