This study aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of Mulligan's mobilization versus the Cyriax capsular stretching technique for individuals suffering from adhesive capsulitis. Specifically, the research focuses on determining which approach is more successful in alleviating pain, improving shoulder range of motion (ROM), and reducing functional disability.
This randomized clinical trial, conducted in Gujranwala, involved 30 participants with adhesive capsulitis who were assigned via a lottery method into two equal groups: one receiving Cyriax capsular stretching and the other Mulligan's mobilization. Both cohorts underwent a standard baseline regimen of moist heat, TENS, and therapeutic exercises over a four-week period.

Shoulder pain and disability index
it is used to measure the impact of shoulder pathology on a patient's life. A higher score indicates greater pain and functional impairment. A score of 0% represents no disability, while 100% represents maximum disability.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Range of motion
Goniometer is used to measure improvement in shoulder range of motion
