To investigate the efficacy of end range mobilization in non diabetic frozen shoulder.
Comparative case control study
Sixty individuals with a diagnosis of frozen shoulder were selected directly from Physiotherapy outpatient door of Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jaipur. These individuals were randomly assigned into two groups: Group A [Experimental (n = 30) and Group B Control (n = 30)]. Group-A received hydrocollator pack, I.F.T and end range mobilization i.e. Maitland 4th grade mobilization by a physiotherapist. Group-B received hydrocollator pack, I.F.T and shoulder girdle exercises which include Codman's Pendulum exercises, shoulder wheel, pulley exercise and finger ladder. Both the groups were given exercises supervised by physiotherapist on regular basis for 2 weeks. Data for measurements of pain on VAS scale & shoulder AROM was collected on day 1 (pre test), end of 1st week, and end of 2nd week.
The mean change in VAS score in both groups was highly significant at the end of one week as well as second week. The P value of the comparison of mean scores between the two groups was also highly significant in both the time frames.
All individuals improved significantly at the end of two weeks, emphasizing that institution based end range mobilization technique is effective in improvement of ROM and pain in non diabetic frozen shoulder.
