Maximum patients reached a constant shoulder score of 100 at 15 months (22 patients). RESULTS: The mean constant shoulder score at the start of protocol was 26.69 (SD- 8.522), which improved to 98.58 (SD-2.892) at 15 months. Method and Material: Thirty six consecutive idiopathic frozen shoulder patients with a painful shoulder of more than 4 weeks and less than 6 months duration and with limitation of active and passive range of movement greater than 25% in abduction and external rotation compared with the other shoulder were selected and subjected to the SHARP protocol. Hence, we decided to develop and validate a Shoulder Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocol (SHARP) for patients with frozen shoulder in our Indian scenario. Furthermore, the compliance of the patient is not good and cost of physiotherapy is high. Most of the protocols are extensive and do not suite the Indian scenario as most of the patients are not involved in active sports or high end activities. ![]() ![]() There are many variations of physical therapy protocol. Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by generalized pain and stiffness with progressive global restricted motion of the shoulder1.
