Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Mobilization techniques are widely used in physiotherapy to address the pain and stiffness associated with adhesive capsulitis. Two commonly employed approaches are Mulligan's mobilization and Maitland's mobilization, both of which aim to restore joint mobility and improve functional outcomes. However, the relative effectiveness of these techniques in improving disability and quality of life in patients with adhesive capsulitis has not been conclusively established. This study will help to find out the best mobilization option for adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder for all four stages of adhesive capsulitis.
