简要总结
Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) is a condition of uncertain etiology characterized by pain and progressive loss of both active and passive shoulder motion.
Shoulder pain and stiffness are accompanied by disability. It is thought that the incidence is 3 to 5% in the general population. Laser therapy is widely used for treating different musculoskeletal diseases, because of its ability to reduce pain and improve the physical function. Also, MWM when used for shoulders with limited range of motion because of pain had shown improvement in range of motion and pressure pain threshold. Previous studies have investigated the efficacy of combining different manual technique with LLLT for treating pain in some body parts. However, up till now the combined effect of MWM with LLLT for treatment of patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis have not been investigated.
So, the present randomized controlled study will be conducted to investigate the effect of adding mulligan mobilization with movement to low level laser therapy in treatment of patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain intensity
时间窗: change from base line at three weeks
Pain intensity will be measured with Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The patient will be asked to mark the severity of pain on a 100-mm line with "no pain" on one end and "most unbearable pain" on the other end
次要结局
- Shoulder range of motion (flexion, abduction, and external rotation)(change from baseline at three weeks)
- pain pressure threshold(change from baseline at three weeks)
- Disability of Arm Shoulder Hand (DASH):(change from baseline at three weeks)
