Treatments
Experimental: Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement (MWM) + Tendon Gliding Exercises (combined effect)
MWM: Radial glide of 1st MCP with active thumb extension (10 reps × 3 sets, progressed with resistance in weeks 3-4). 2- Tendon Gliding Exercises: Straight hand, hook fist, tabletop, full fist, straight fist (10 reps × 2 sets in weeks 1-2; 3 sets × 15 with resistance band in weeks 3
Other: Conventional Treatment
Wrist ROM (flexion, extension, radial/ulnar deviation, pronation/supination). 2-Thumb ROM (abduction/adduction, flexion/extension, opposition/circumduction). 3-Isometric wrist/thumb strengthening. 4-Strengthening with soft ball, thumb abduction/adduction against resistance. 5-Postural and ergonomic education for smartphone usage.
