Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Mirror Therapy and Rotator Cuff Strengthening   Group A- Mirror therapy- Treatment duration – 20 min a session. Treatment duration – 3 weeks (12 sessions) 1.Mirror will be placed in a parasagittal plane so that patient could see the reflection of the unaffected side in the mirror. 2.The first stage consisted of active flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation movements of the intact extremity, each in front of the mirror for the same amount of time. 3.The second stage consisted of active flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation movements of both shoulders carried out again in front of the mirror. Conventional treatment – 1.TENS for 15 min, frequency 150 Hz 2.Pendulum exercises (2 sets of 10 repetitions). 3.Active ROM exercises (2 sets of 10 repetitions). Group B- Rotator cuff strengthening exercises- Treatment duration – 3 weeks (12 sessions) 1.Strengthening exercises will be including isometric and isotonic exercises. 2.When the pain will not allow isotonic exercises, isometric exercises to the rotator cuff muscles will be given in standing. 3.Strengthening exercises will be started within the pain limit and as per the patient’s tolerance. 4.Strengthening will be started by the Thera band and 1 kg dumbbell. 8-12 repetitions for 3 sets per session. Thera band exercises- Thera band exercises will be done in standing. External rotation. Internal rotation. Shoulder abduction. Exercises with 1kg dumbbell– External rotation in side lying. Internal rotation in supine. Abduction in side lying and standing. Conventional treatment – 1.TENS for 15 min, frequency 150 Hz. 2.Pendulum exercises (2 sets of 10 repetitions) 3.Active ROM exercises(2 sets of 10 repetitions)

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  

This randomized clinical trial  compared the effectiveness of mirror therapy and rotator cuff strengthening on pain, range of motion and kinesiophobia in 36 patients of adhesive capsulitis.  Patients enrolled according to the inclusion criteria. Intent of the study was explained and informed consent form was taken from patients. Patients divided into two groups according to appropriate method. Pre-treatment outcomes i.e. pain, range of motion and kinesiophobia assessed and documented. Pain intensity was assessed by visual analogue scale. Range of motion was measured by universal goniometer. And kinesiophobia i.e. fear of movement was documented by tempa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK-11). 12 sessions of treatment was delivered. After completing the protocol, again outcomes was assessed. Data entered in Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 24.0th. Data represented in the form of frequency and percentage and also in the form of visual impressions like bar diagram, pie diagram etc. Unpaired student t-test was applied to check significance difference between two groups also paired t-test was applied for checking significant difference between pre and post treatment in a group. P- Value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. This trial concludes that both techniques are effective but rotator cuff strengthening has been proved to be more effective.
