Intra-articular distension preceded by physical therapy versus intra-articular distension followed by physical therapy for treating adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.

CONCLUSIONS: IAD followed by physical therapy is more beneficial than IAD preceded by physical therapy in terms of upper extremity function. IAD, whether or not preceded by physical therapy, does not significantly improve pain compared to physical therapy alone. Time is a crucial factor to take into consideration while treating adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. PMID: 31594205 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
