A case report to determine an Integrated Physical Therapy Using Spencer Technique in the
Rehabilitation of a Patient With a Frozen Shoulder (FS). In this case report, the 57
years old male occupation of shopkeeper came with the complaint of right frozen shoulder.
The treatment of Spencer's Technique with stathe study in 2023 about Acromioclavicular
joint mobilizations for the management of grade I sternoclavicular joint sprain. In this
case report, after sustaining a grade I posteriorly directed sternoclavicular sprain in a
car accident, the patient, a 34-year-old woman, had five sessions of acromioclavicular
joint mobilizations and rehabilitative exercise for her shoulder complex over a period of
six weeks. The result was that a combination of acromioclavicular joint mobilizations and
therapeutic exercise was suitable conservative management for grade I sternoclavicular
sprainndard management was given for 3 weeks. The SPADI questionnaire was used. It was
concluded that the Spencer Technique had a significant effect on reducing pain, increase
shoulder range of motion and improve functional disability.
in 2023 about Prevelence of musculoskeletal disorders in medical laboratory technicians.
The 22 years old patient came with complaint of pain in right shoulder during overhead
sports activities. The test for impingement like empty can test, Neer's impingement test,
Hawkins Kenneddy test was positive. The patient treated with Spencer technique. It was
concluded that the Spencer Technique was effective for shoulder impingement syndrome to
increase range of motion.
An experimental study in 2023 about comparative effect of gong's mobilization and Spencer
technique to manage frozen shoulder. In this study, there were 30 subjects which
diagnosed with unilateral frozen shoulder were randomized into 2 groups by simple random
method. The group 1 received Spencer technique with ultrasound and Codman's pendulum
exercise and group 2 received gong's mobilization with ultrasound and Codman's pendulum
exercise. The conclusion was that gong's mobilization was more effective than Spencer
technique with ultrasound and Codman's pendulum exercises in treating frozen shoulder
patients.
A quasi experimental study about the immediate effect of acromioclavicular joint
mobilization on shoulder range of motion. In this study, 30 healthy participants were
taken with a complaint of decrease range of motion. The participants received
acromioclavicular joint mobilization The result was that acromioclavicular joint
mobilization increase the shoulder range of motion.
A randomized controlled trial in 2022 about Spencer muscle energy technique versus
conventional treatment in frozen shoulder. In this study, the 60 participants with
idiopathic frozen shoulder were examined and only 40 were received the treatment and
randomly divided into 2 groups. The first group took the treatment of spencer muscle
energy technique and second group received conventional treatment. This study concluded
that spencer muscle energy technique was more beneficial for reducing pain in shoulder as
well as conventional treatment improve range of motion.
A randomized clinical trial was conducted about Effectiveness of acromioclavicular joint
mobilization and physical therapy vs physical therapy alone in patients with frozen
shoulder in 2021. In this study, there were two groups: an experimental group and control
group. The experimental group got acromioclavicular joint mobilization and physical
therapy but control group contain only physical therapy. The result was that
acromioclavicular joint mobilization with physical therapy treatment was more effective
to increase range of motion, decrease pain and disability.
In 2020, a single blind randomized control trial was conducted about comparison of
spencer muscle energy technique and passive stretching in adhesive Capsulitis. There were
60 patients participated in this study. All patients are randomly divided into two
groups: group 1 received spencer muscle energy technique and group 2 received passive
stretching. The study was concluded that the spencer technique used in group 1 was more
effectual than passive stretching used in group 2.
Comparing Spencer technique with and without Acromioclavicular mobilization in patients
with frozen shoulder lies in the integration of specific techniques, the focus on a
distinct patient population, and the comprehensive assessment of pain, range of motion,
and functional disability. The study has the potential to advance our understanding of
effective interventions for frozen shoulder and inform evidence-based practices in
rehabilitation and physiotherapy.
