ABSTRACT
| Background: Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a condition commonly affecting shoulder with 2% of prevalence, causing insidious pain and restriction of active as well as passive gleno-humeral movement. Both male and female populations were affected; however, there is a tendency towards a higher incidence in female patients. Objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of kaltenborn mobilization technique versus mulligan’s MWM in patients with adhesive capsulitis. Method: 30 patients were selected between the age group of 40to60 years and having a past history of adhesives capsulitis for one month. 15 patients were allocated to each group of experiment. Group I was given Kaltenborn mobilization and scapular stabilization exercise and Group II was given Mulligan’s mobilization and scapular stabilization exercise. Evaluation of the subjects were done using the visual analogue scale(VAS) and shoulder pain and disability index scale (SPADI). Result: Data analysis revealed statistically difference between both groups and proved that kaltenborn mobilization and scapular stabilization exercise is more effective than mulligan mobilization and scapular stabilization exercise in Adhesive capusulitis. Conclusion: This study shows that kaltenborn mobilization and scapular stabilization exercise possess a greater effective over mulligan’s mobilization and scapular stabilization exercise in treating patients with adhesive capsulitis. |
