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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Visual Analogue Scale

  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.

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

• Range of motion

  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.

  From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks

• Shoulder Pain and Disability Index

  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.

Study Arms (2)

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

The experimental group received Kinesiotaping, Mulligan's mobilization with movement, and conventional physiotherapy.

Other: Kinesio taping; Other: Mulligan's mobilization with movement techniques; Other: Conventional physiotherapy

Control Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Control group received only Mulligan's mobilization with movement and conventional physiotherapy

Other: Mulligan's mobilization with movement techniques; Other: Conventional physiotherapy

Interventions

Kinesio taping OTHER

Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a special elastic tape to the skin to support and stabilize muscles and joints without restricting their range of motion.

Experimental Group

Mulligan's mobilization with movement techniques OTHER

Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) techniques involve the application of a sustained manual force or glide to a joint while the patient actively performs a movement that is typically painful or restricted.

Control Group; Experimental Group

Conventional physiotherapy OTHER

Mulligan Mobilization with Movement, Ultrasound Therapy, Active assisted ROM exercises for shoulder, Capsular Stretching exercises

Control Group; Experimental Group
