Additional Effects of Mirror Therapy on Shoulder Mobility and Function in Post-stroke Adhesive Capsulitis Patients
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 27 Apr 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The estimated annual incidence of stroke in Pakistan is 250/100, 000. Upper limb impairments and post-stroke musculoskeletal complications such as pain, subluxation and restricted joint range of motion are commonly reported. Among many other shoulder impairments, adhesive capsulitis is a leading cause of limited mobility, reduced range of motion, and pain in stroke patients. The aim of the current study will benefit the clinicians and physiotherapists as it provide an insight to treat post stroke adhesive capsulitis. Effects of mirror therapy have been established but the literature does not provide best treatment approaches or modalities for different types of Hemiplegic shoulder pain. This study will address the limitations in treatment approaches concerning the shoulder joint and its mobility in post-stroke adhesive capsulitis. The study will be non-blinded randomized control trial, consisting of two groups. Study will be conducted over a period of 1 year. Subjects will be selected via non-probability purposive sampling technique using coin toss method followed by randomization into two groups (A and B).Ethical approval will be obtained from ERC FUMC. One group will receive mirror therapy while other will receive conventional exercises treatment for period of 6 weeks. Baseline tests will be performed before and after the intervention of mirror therapy \& outcome measure assessments will be done after every 3 weeks for a total period of 6 weeks intervention period. Data will be entered and analyzed on SPSS version 22.
