About

This study focus on the rehabilitation of patients with frozen shoulder through a manual technique called "Spencer MET".The purpose of this approach is to reduce the pain and improve the ROM and quality of life.

Full description

By comparing the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation versus the Spencer technique in patients with adhesive capsuilitis is to determine which treatment approach will yields better outcomes in order to reduce the detrimental effects of disease process.Spencer METs consist of series of seven steps taken in order to decrease pain and stiffness in sholder regiegionn.
