Immediate Effect of Scapular Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Versus Capsular Stretch Combined with Positional Release on Pain, Range of Motion and Shoulder Function in Patients with Frozen Shoulder: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Frozen shoulder is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by pain and
progressive restriction in the shoulder's range of motion, significantly impacting daily activities and
functional independence. Physical therapy, including Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF),
Positional Release Therapy (PRT), and capsular stretching, is frequently employed to address this
condition.
