Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Spencer muscle energy technique on Pain, Shoulder ROM and Functional disability in patients with Periarthritis Shoulder.

Materials and Methods: In this study, 30 participants were chosen using a random sampling method based on selection criteria and informed consent was obtained from each participant. Subjects were assigned randomly into two groups. Group A (N=15) was treated with the Spencer muscle energy technique, ultrasound therapy and Codman’s pendulum exercise. Group B (N=15) was treated with ultrasound therapy and Codman’s pendulum exercise. The initial evaluation of the pain intensity by the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), the shoulder ROM by the universal goniometer, and the functional disability was scored using the hand behind back (HBB).

Results: Significant improvements observed in patients of Group A and Group B. When comparing the group A and B, NPRS (Z=3.53, P=0.001), shoulder abduction (Z=3.45, P=0.001), shoulder internal rotation (Z=3.45, P=0.001), shoulder external rotation (Z=3.44, P=0.001) and hand behind back (Z=3.53, P=0.001) are significantly increased in group A.

Conclusion: The study result concludes that in patients with periarthritis shoulder, the Spencer muscle energy technique group is effective in decreasing pain, improving ROM, and functional disability.
