Summary

Objective: To pilot the methods proposed for conducting a full randomised clinical trial to evaluate the effect of Mulligan concept mobilization with movement on shoulder functionality in older adults with shoulder dysfunction.

Design: Pilot randomised, single-blinded clinical trial. Setting: Three nursing homes, Toledo, Spain. Participants: 44 older adults with shoulder dysfunction. Interventions: Participants will be randomly allocated into control group (n=22) treated with a physiotherapy standard protocol proposed by the Spanish Rheumatology Society; and experimental group (n=22) treated with the same physical therapy standard protocol and Mulligan concept mobilisation with movement. Both interventions will take place three times a week for 2 consecutive weeks.

Main outcomes: Primary outcome is shoulder functionality measured with Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (S-SDQ) Spanish version, and secondary outcomes are active glenohumeral range of motion and pain intensity. Data will be collected at baseline, after each group intervention, and 1 and 3 months after finishing interventions.

Standard protocol

Control group intervention is the physiotherapy treatment standard protocol proposed by the Spanish Rheumatology Society for shoulder dysfunction

OTHER

Mulligan Concept Mobilisation with Movement

The internal hand of the physiotherapist stabilises participants´ shoulder girdle and with the thenar eminence of the other hand, performs a posterior-lateral glide of the humeral head. Participants are asked to raise the affected arm in the point of pain onset while the physiotherapist sustains the gliding force to humeral head. The physiotherapist tries to maintain the glide at right angles to the plane of movement throughout the entire range while participants are requested to perform an active elevation. Participants are instructed that the mobilisation procedure, including shoulder movement, had to be pain free
