A comparative study on the effect of ultrasound and interferential therapy for peri arthritis of shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)

<p><span>A total of 20 patients who fulfilled the eligible criteria were randomly allocated to control<br>group and experimental group using block randomization. Experimental group patient received<br>ultrasound and control group received interferential therapy separately. Both the groups were<br>given Codman’s exercise, Finger ladder exercise and passive capsular stretching. VAS and<br>UEFI were taken for both the groups before and after treatment as outcome measures.<br>Comparison of outcome measures was done between both the groups after 2 weeks. There is<br>no significant difference between experimental and control groups in terms of UEFI (p= 0.676)<br>and VAS (p=0.467) scores at 14th day of intervention. Within group comparison showed<br>significant improvement in UEFI (p= 0.009 for control and p=0.005 for experimental group)<br>and VAS (p= 0.010 for control and p=0.005 for experimental group) scores at 14th day of<br>intervention.</span> </p>
