Instant Effect of Maitland Mobilization Techniques versus Scapular Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation and Glenohumeral Mobilization in Adhesive Capsulitis- A Randomized Controlled Trial

Completed
Conditions
Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder,
Registration Number
CTRI/2022/04/041985
Brief Summary

My thesis compares end range glenohumeral mobilization and scapular mobilization versus glenohumeral mobilization and scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique to measure which technique will have better effect in adhesive capsulitis to decrease pain and to improve range of motion and functional disability in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Summary

The study concluded that scapular mobilization with Maitland glenohumeral mobilization and scapular PNF with Maitland glenohumeral mobilization are both effective in improving pain, functional disability, glenohumeral joint ROM and scapular dyskinesis in post treatment in patients with adhesive capsulitis but won’t have effect post 1 week. Also, the effect size is small.
