Summary

The aim of present study was to evaluate the immediate effect of Mulligan's mobilization with movement on shoulder girdle' pain, range of motion (ROM) and muscle activity, in subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome

Conditions

  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Mulligan's Mobilization With Movement

The Mulligan's MWM group received mobilization with movement in the glenohumeral joint, as described by Mulligan. The participant was seated, and the physiotherapist was placed on the opposite side to the affected shoulder with the thenar eminence of one hand over the anterior aspect of the humeral head, and the other hand over the spine of the scapula posteriorly of the affected shoulder. The hand over the humeral head performed a posterolateral glide, while the other hand stabilized the scapula. This maneuver was sustained while the participant asked to raise the arm in scapular plan (as explained above) without pain. The physiotherapist previously determined the amount of posterolateral pressure which was the best to abolish the pain during shoulder scaption for each participant. The participants performed three sets of 10 trials with a resting time of 30 seconds between each set. After intervention was allowed a resting time of three minutes.

PROCEDURE

Active Mobilization

In the Placebo group, no effective intervention was performed, the participant was asked to raise the affected arm in scapular plane without pain, while the physiotherapist placed their hands-on shoulder, with the same manual contacts described in Mulligan's MWM group, but without performing any pressure. The participants performed three sets of 10 trials with a resting time of 30 seconds between each set. After intervention was allowed a resting time of three minutes.
