Effectivness of Mulligan’s mobilization with movement in patient with frozen shoulder, a randomized control trail

Abstract

Background: The condition known as frozen shoulder causes the shoulder range of motion to be limited there is progressive onset of stiffness, intense discomfort, particularly at night and restriction of active and passive range of motion are its key features. If the reason of adhesive capsulitis is unknown it is known as primary adhesive capsulitis (idiopathic) or secondary (due to some other cause). Although there is a chance of complete resolution, it typically has a lifespan of one to three years and is self-limiting. Objective: To find out the effectiveness of Mulligans mobilization and to find out the effectiveness of Kaltenborn mobilization in the patients with adhesive capsulitis or to compare both techniques in order to rule out which one is better to improve the quality of life in the patients with adhesive capsulitis. Methods: A randomized controlled trial  was conducted using a standardized questionnaire. The study included both the genders with diagnosed adhesive capsulitis. Data from 44 patients was taken before and after treatment. Data was analyzed through SPSS. Results: The P value is 0.005 that shows Mulligans mobilization MWM technique is more effective than Kaltenborn mobilization technique. Conclusion: Mulligans MWM technique outperforms the Kaltenborn mobilization method in terms of improving pain but both techniques were proved to be effective in order to improve range of motion in the patients with adhesive capsulitis.
