Aim: To compare the efficacy of Kaltenborn versus mulligan mobilisation in frozen shoulder.
Objective: To assess and compare the efficacy of Kaltenborn versus mulligan mobilisation in frozen shoulder
Methodology: A total of 40 subjects were recruited into this study. The subjects were divided randomly into two equal groups. Group A was given Kaltenborn mobilisation and Group B was given Mulligan mobilisation. The patients were informed about the procedure and a written informed consent was obtained from all the participants willing to be a part of this study. The baseline data of ROM of all movements of shoulder was obtained using universal goniometer, pain and disability data was obtained using SPADI.
Statistics & Results: Data was collected on a data sheet & encoded for computerized analysis using SPSS version 22 for Windows. The statistical analysis of post values of Group A (Kaltenborn mobilization) when compared with the post values of Group B (Mulligan mobilization) VAS (p value <0.001), ROM with shoulder flexion (p value <0.0057), shoulder abduction (p value <0.0001), external rotation (p value <0.0065), internal rotation (p value <0.0075), SPADI (p value <0.0309) showed statistical significance. Thus Mulligan mobilization showed more improvement as compared to kaltenborn mobilisation.
Conclusions: Mulligan mobilization is more effective in improving VAS (Pain), ROM of shoulder and Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) than Kaltenborn mobilization.
