Effectiveness of Infrared Radiation (IRR) and Shortwave Diathermy in the Diabetic Patients with Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
Abstract: Objective: The purpose of the study to find out the effectiveness of the IR and SWD in the diabetic patients with the frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Methods: Diabetic patients having adhesive capsulitis were included, who were advised for physio-therapy treatment. At first, detailed history, clinical examination and necessary investigations were carried out properly. The subjects were selected according to some selection criteria. One hundred fifty patients were selected according to the selection criteria by non-probability convenience sampling. Grouping was done randomly and was divided into two groups. Group-A: 75 patients were treated with HEP, Grade-I&II Shoulder Mobilization and SWD, Group-B: 75 patients were treated with HEP, Grade-I&II Shoulder Mobilization and IRR. Follow up of the patients were done weekly for 4 weeks and the outcome was recorded. Assessment of the patients was done by Visual Analogue Scale, Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI), chi-square test. The results were expressed as mean ? standard deviation (SD) and p
