Effects of Kaltenborn Translatoric Glides As Compared to Traction Mobilization in the Management of Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a common musculoskeletal condition. Painful gradual loss of both active and passive gleno-humeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the gleno-humeral joint capsule.Range of motions and capsular pattern affected in frozen shoulder. Physiotherapists have a wide range of options in managing frozen shoulder including Electrotherapeutic modalities, kaltenborn mobilization, Maitland's mobilization,Mulligan's mobilization and Manipulation. So far studies have shown the efficacy of different treatments in combination or in isolation.some studies on Kaltenborn mobilization , but no obseved comparative effects of Kaltenborn mobilization i.e translatoric glides and traction mobilzation in patients with frozen shoulder.In clinically both techniques of kaltenborn are used but there is no evidence regarding which one is more effective. .If found effective,this study can help to use best clinical treatment in the managemnent of frozen shoulder.
• Subjects with Nonspecific frozen shoulder without specific identifiable etiology (i.e. infection, inflammatory disease)
• 40-65 years of age both males and females.
