Abstract
Background: Adhesive capsulitis is a painful and disabling disorder of unclear cause in the shoulder. It restricts joint motion and cause chronic pain. Purpose: to investigate and compare the effect of axillary ultrasound application versus traditional ultrasound on functional ability in patient with adhesive capsulitis. Subjects and methods: Thirty patients of both sex with unilateral adhesive capsulitis had been participated and recruited from physical therapy department of Al Azhar university specialized hospital. Patients were randomly divided into two equal group{u2019}s number: group (A) (Axillary ultrasound group): It composed of 15 patients who received axillary ultrasound in addition to physical therapy treatment. group (B) (Traditional Ultrasound group): It composed of 15 patients who received traditional ultrasound in addition to physical therapy treatment. Patients in both groups received ultrasound according to the following specification: medium transducer,3MHz pulsed type (1:1), and 1.5 W/Cm applied for 10 minutes. In both group, Functional activity was measured by disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire. Shoulder Flexion, abduction and external rotation range of motion were measured by digital inclinometer. Pain intensity was measured by visual analoug scale(VAS)before and after four weeks of treatment
