Frozen shoulder (FS) or adhesive capsulitis is an unknown intrinsic disease associated with spontaneously progressive inflammation and fibrosis of the shoulder joint capsule, characterised by pain and significant loss of active and passive shoulder motion [Sensory and proprioceptive input may be reduced if the shoulder cannot be moved due to pain in FS [As for comparing the effects of NME and strengthening exercises for the shoulder, Eshoj et al. [Therefore, the aim of the current study was to compare the effects of NME and strengthening exercises at FS. We hypothesised that NME may improve the symptoms of FS better than strengthening exercises.
