The effectiveness of Spencer muscle energy technique on pain, function and range of motion in patients with frozen shoulder: Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Frozen shoulder, also clinically known as adhesive capsulitis, is characterized by pain, stiffness, and gradual loss of passive or active glenohumeral range of motion. It leads to marked reduction in shoulder mobility, impacting daily activities and quality of life. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Spencer muscle energy technique (SMET) for frozen shoulder patients.

Methods

For this systematic review and meta-analysis, we used PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) for searching from inception to January 20, 2025. This systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and independent authors selected clinical control trials that compare t
