Effect of Mulligan's Mobilization on Shoulder Joint Range of Motion and Subacromial Space in Paraplegic Patients

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Paraplegia, Incomplete

• Registration Number: NCT06708962
• Lead Sponsor: MTI University

Brief Summary

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of mulligan's mobilization on shoulder range of motion and subacromial joint space in paraplegic patients with subacromial impingement so, thirty patients will be randomly assigned to two groups group (A) and Group (B)

Detailed Description

30 patients will be randomly assigned to two groups Group (A): will receive Mulligan's mobilization plus steroid injection for rotator cuff tendinopathy Group (B): will receive Steroid injection for rotator cuff tendinopathy only

Outcome measures will be:

* shoulder joint range of motion will be measured by laser goniometer

* Subacromial joint space will be measured by 3D ultrasonography

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder joint range of motion	Two months	Shoulder joint ROM ( flexion - abduction- external and internal rotation will be measured by The laser goniometer HALO

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Subacromial joint space	Two months	3D Ultrasonography enables the identification of common shoulder pathologies, and it will be utilized to assess the subacromial space as a kinematic indication of the shoulder.
