Kinesiotaping Along with Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement in Adhesive Capsulitis

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Adhesive Capsulitis

• Registration Number: NCT06843057
• Lead Sponsor: King Saud University

Brief Summary

The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Kinesiotaping with Mulligan's mobilization with movement in treating shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Thirty patients participated in a randomized control trial, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received Kinesiotaping, Mulligan's mobilization with movement, and conventional physiotherapy, while the control group received only Mulligan's mobilization with movement and conventional physiotherapy. Pain, range of motion, and functional outcomes were measured using a visual analogue scale, goniometer, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analogue Scale	From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks	The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a tool for measuring subjective experiences, like pain. It's typically a 10 cm line, with endpoints marking the extremes (e.g., "no pain" to "worst imaginable pain"). The minimum value is 0, and the maximum is 10. Respondents mark a point on the line that corresponds to their experience. Higher scores usually indicate worse outcomes for negative experiences like pain.
Range of motion	From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks	Range of motion (ROM) measures the movement extent of a joint or body part, expressed in degrees. Minimum values indicate restricted movement (e.g., 0° signifies no movement), while maximum values represent full movement capacity (e.g., 180° for shoulder flexion). Higher scores generally indicate a better outcome, as they reflect greater flexibility and joint function.
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index	From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks	The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a 13-item questionnaire assessing pain and disability due to shoulder issues. Scores range from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating no pain/disability and 100 indicating severe pain/disability. Higher scores signify worse outcomes, reflecting greater pain and functional impairment.
