ABSTRACT
Background and need of research: Frozen Shoulder also known as Adhesive Capsulitis is a common shoulder condition marked by pain and a gradual loss of shoulder movement. Three overlapping stages are seen by frozen shoulder patients: Stage I is inflammation, Stage II is frozen, and Stage III is thawing. According to estimates, 2–5% of the general population has frozen shoulder, which affects 8% of males and 10% of women. The present review of literature has been undertaken to discover the effect of muscle energy technique in frozen shoulder.
Methods: Various research articles were searched using the database such as PubMed, Research gate, Google Scholar, and Scopus were searched. Randomized controlled trials that studied both short- and long-term effects of muscle energy technique were selected.
Result: Majority of the reviewed studies indicated that muscle energy technique improves the range of motion, increase the flexibility, muscle activation and reduce the pain. This technique has been proven to be effective in comparison with various other technique
Conclusion: Muscle Energy Technique when given is individually and in combination has proven to be effective in reducing pain, enhancing functional and improving the range of motion.
