Mulligan Mobilization With Movement Method in the Treatment of Shoulder Problems

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pain; Shoulder Syndrome
• Interventions: Other: CT+MWM; Other: CT

• Registration Number: NCT06187571
• Lead Sponsor: Ankara Yildirim Beyazıt University

Brief Summary

To determine whether Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM) and Conservative treatment CT give different results on pain, ROM, and functional activities in participants with shoulder problems.

Detailed Description

Shoulder problems are one of the common orthopedic problems. Patients with shoulder problems experience an increase in pain and a decrease in joint movement and functionality. With conventional treatment, patients' symptoms improve. However, the MWM is one of the manual therapy techniques frequently used to reduce pain in musculoskeletal system problems. It is extremely important to evaluate patients' functionality after rehabilitation. Although there are studies comparing the effect of MWM in the literature, studies evaluating patient-specific functionality are also limited.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
MWM Group	CT+MWM	This group received treatment with the Mulligan technique.
CT Group	CT	This group received treatment with the conventional therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder pain	through study completion, an average of 6 month	The Numeric Pain Rating Scale was used to evaluate shoulder pain. The patient was asked to mark the point corresponding to the pain between 0 and 10. The higher the score, the higher the pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
ROM	through study completion, an average of 6 month	Shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation were measured using a Universal goniometer.As the angle increases, the joint range of motion increases.
Patient Specific Functional Scale	through study completion, an average of 6 month	In the patient-specific activity scale, depending on the current pathology, the physiotherapist asks the patient three or five activities that he or she finds difficult to do. The patient is asked to score the activity between 0-10 points. The total score is determined by averaging the activity scores, with higher scores indicating better function.
