Introduction: A frozen shoulder (FS); Hui Bin Yvonne.et al defined it as "a condition of uncertain aetiology, characterised by significant restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion mostly the shoulder abduction and external rotation that occurs in absence of a known intrinsic shoulder disorder"[2]. Methodology: The study consists of total 20 patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder. Between 40 to 60 years of age including male and female. All the patients included in the study were ones falling into inclusion criteria of the study. Informed and written consent was taken from all the patients and further all the patients were divided in to two groups by concealed envelop method consisting of 10 patients in each groups. Both the groups received treatment for 5 days/week for 4 weeks. Group-A received the Vibration therapy along with Conventional Physiotherapy and Group-B received Conventional Physiotherapy treatment. Result: For group-A and group-B pre and post intervention outcome measures were taken in form of Goniometry and SPADI. Significance was assessed at 5% level of significance p<0.05 (2-tailed hypothesis test was considered). Both the groups showed improvement post intervention but Group A along with Conventional Physiotherapy showed more improvement where pain was reduced, improved function, improved shoulder abduction and external rotation ROM. Conclusion: The study showed significant effectiveness in both the groups significant effect of the treatment on post intervention but when compared the effect was more significant in Group-A that is Vibration therapy in patients with frozen shoulder.
