Title

Comparing the Effect of Spencer Technique versus Muscle Energy Technique For Reducing Pain and Disablity in Adhesive Capsultitis of Shoulder Joint: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Abstract Background: Adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as "frozen shoulder," is a crippling ailment that causes pain and increasing stiffness in the active and passive range of motions (ROMs) of the shoulder joint. The biggest loss of ROMs is usually in external rotation (ER), which is followed by loss of abduction and internal rotation (IR). This condition can be treated in a different way, but the aetiology is unknown. This study compares the effectiveness of two different methods for enhancing shoulder joint range and lowering pain and disability. Methodology: Twenty subjects were divided into two groups at random. One group was treated with the Muscle Energy Technique (MET), and the other group was treated with the Spencer technique. The degree of shoulder joint pain and disability is measured using the shoulder pain disability index. Result: The variance, t-test, P-value, mean, and standard deviation are all tabulated. The values of the groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05) based on the student t-test. The results demonstrated that the Spencer technique is more efficacious than MET in reducing pain and disability in adhesive capsulitis with the variance test significant value at P<0.05. Conclusion: When applied to patients, both the Spencer technique and MET are useful; however, a comparison using the t-test shows that the Spencer technique is superior to MET in lowering pain and disability in cases of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder joint.
