Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive Therapy on Shoulder Range of Motion In Idiopathic Adhesive Capsulitis

The current study's general aim is to compare the effectiveness of Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) therapy combined with stretching versus stretching alone in patients with adhesive capsulitis stage 2,3 on range of motion, pain, and function.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients of both genders with primary adhesive capsulitis. * Patients aged between 40-65. * Pain duration of three months or more. * Range of motion loss of greater than 25% in at least 2 planes and passive external rotation loss that is greater than 50% of the uninvolved shoulder or less than 30° of external rotation. Exclusion Criteria: * Bilateral adhesive capsulitis, * Systemic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, * Malignancies, * Heart diseases * Infections * Coagulation disorders * Full rotator cuff tear * History of recent shoulder surgery * Neurological problems involving the upper extremity * Shoulder joint osteoarthritis * Upper extremity fractures * Cervical radiculopathy * Impaired sensation * Having a heart pacemaker * Pregnancy * Physiotherapy treatment in the previous 6 weeks
