Official title
Effeect of Spencer Muscle Energy Technique on Pain in Diabetic Stiff Shoulder
Overview
Stiff shoulder is a painful and severely debilitating condition. The inflammatory contracture of the glenohumeral joint capsule in stiff shoulder restricts both active and passive range of motion, with loss of external rotation being especially characteristic of this condition (Dyer et al., 2023). Stiff shoulder is clinically described by the continuing onset of shoulder pain and advanced exacerbation of the shoulder joint leading to exertion in the higher extremity activity, significant disability, and functional restrictions. The most common symptom of a stiff shoulder is night pain, resulting in sleep impediment that leads to one-sided sleep on the uninfected shoulder (Mao et al., 2022). Spencer technique is a standardized series of treatments with broad application to diagnose, treat and establish prognosis for restricted mobility in shoulder. It was developed by Spencer in 1961. It is a multistep technique that combines Spencer's positioning, sequencing, slow stretching of the shoulder complex within pain-free limits done by physical therapist while incorporating muscular energy with post-isometric contraction and relaxation (Babu And Putcha., 2022).
Detailed description
thirty diabetic female patients with Stiff shoulder with ages 45-55 years:
Group A(study group) :
15 patients received Spencer Muscle Energy Technique along with postural exercise 3 times a week for 8 week.
Group B (control group) :
15 patients received Classical physiotherapy treatment includes Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for 15 minutes hotpack on the painful area for 15 minutes along with postural exercise 3 times per week for 8 week.
Interventions
- Procedure spencer mscle energy technique
The effectiveness of MET found in chronic capsulitis is due to its effect on relieving pain, ensuring ROM incretions, and developing functional activities due to the muscle contraction in a precise direction and in a monitored position over resistance to assist in improving joint range by advancing joint flexibility. This procedure is suggested for all joints with limited ROM (Butt \& Tanveer, 2022).
Primary outcome measures
- pain pressure threshold algometry [Time frame: will be measured at baseline, and it will be measured after eight weeks]
- Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) [Time frame: will be measured at baseline, and it will be measured after eight weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- goniometer [Time frame: will be measured at baseline, and it will be measured after eight weeks]
- SPADI (shoulder pain and disability index). [Time frame: will be measured at baseline, and it will be measured after eight weeks]

Exclusion criteria
- 1\. cases of traumatic stiff shoulder. 2. Osteoporosis and malignance of shoulder region. 3. Neurological deficit affect shoulder function. 4. rheumatoid arthritis. 5. recurrent subluxation of shoulder. 6. cervical radiculopathy. 7. history of shoulder surgery. 8. vascular diseases.
