Adhesive capsulitis is characterized by severe joint pain, stiffness with progressive restriction of movement in all planes of shoulder joint. In the present study, purposively selected 60 patients with adhesive capsulitis aged 40-60 years from the Physiotherapy Center, Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar, participated in two intervention groups (for 4 weeks each), i.e. 30 subjects who received Maitland mobilization plus interferential therapy (IFT) and 30 subjects who were treated with IFT plus shoulder exercises. Outcome variables were shoulder abduction s. flexion, s. extension, s. external rotation, s. internal rotation, VAS, pain scale, disability and total SPADI. The results indicated significant improvement (p<0.001) in shoulder range of motion and decrement in VAS, disability and total SPADI in patients with adhesive capsulitis after 4-week intervention using both Maitland mobilization plus IFT and IFT plus shoulder exercises, though the combination of IFT plus shoulder exercises showed significantly better improvement than Maitland plus IFT.
