What this Trial Is About
The randomized controlled trail aims is to evaluate the outcome of Gongs mobilization and PNF in patients with adhesive capsulitis. The significance of this study is to compare Gong's mobilization technique with proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) compare their effects on pain, range of motion, and functional disability. The sample size was calculated with G-power. This study would include total 44 female participants aged 40-60 years will be recruited and randomly assigned to two groups. Group A(Gongs mobilization+ conventional therapy)and Group B(PNF+ Conventional therapy). Intervention will be provided for 4 weeks 3 session per week. Primary outcome measures are pain, ROM and functional disability via NPRS, Goniometer and U-SPADI. Outcomes will be reassessed at baseline, after 2nd week, and after 4th week.
