Back ground: Adhesive capsulitis, most commonly referred to as frozen shoulder (FS), is an idiopathic disease with 2 principal characteristics: pain and contracture, affecting the external rotation most. In contrast to traditional mobilization technique andrea et al found posterior glide more effective in improving external rotation ROM and pain.

Objective: To find out the effective stretch glide for external rotation ROM and pain in patients with primary adhesive capsulitis.

Methods: 30 subjects were divided into two groups called Anterior stretch glide (ASG) and Posterior stretch glide (PSG). Each group received ultrasound, same exercise protocol along with their designated glides for 2 weeks. Outcome measures were External Rotation ROM and VAS. Data was analyzed by using the SPSS software. Wilcoxon signed rank and rank sum tests were used to measure the differences in VAS and Paired and unpaired t tests were used for ROM evaluation.

Findings: There was a significant difference in External Rotation ROM and VAS in both the groups after the intervention, even there is a significant difference between the groups.

Conclusion: anterior stretch glide is very effective in reducing pain or unpleasantness intensity and increasing external rotation range of motion at shoulder in patients with primary adhesive capsulitis.
