Abstract

Acharya Sushruta describes Avabahuka as one of the eighty types of Vata Vyadhis, primarily due to an imbalance in the Vata Dosha. It specifically affects the shoulder joint (Amsa Sandhi), disrupting normal upper limb movement and daily activities. Bahuspandithara, the classical Ayurvedic symptom of Avabahuka, indicates a significant loss of arm movement. This condition closely resembles frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis.

Adhesive capsulitis is a musculoskeletal disorder characterised by the formation of adhesions in the glenohumeral joint, which leads to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. It can occur either spontaneously (idiopathic or primary adhesive capsulitis) or due to other causes such as shoulder surgery or trauma (secondary adhesive capsulitis). This condition significantly impairs shoulder function and can be quite disabling.

KEY WORDS:-  Adhesive capsulitis, Avabahuka, Frozen shoulder
