Summary

The present study demonstrated statistically significant improvements in pain, range of motion (ROM), and functional disability in both groups; however, participants receiving telerehabilitation with self-Mulligan technique exhibited significantly greater improvements compared to those receiving telerehabilitation alone. These findings highlight the added value of incorporating manual therapy concepts, even in a self- applied or remotely guided format, into rehabilitation programs for patients with subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS). The significant reduction in pain scores (VAS) and improvement in ROM across all planes in Group A can be explained by the biomechanical correction principle of the Mulligan Concept, particularly Mobilization with Movement (MWM). This technique is believed to correct minor positional faults in the glenohumeral joint, thereby restoring normal arthrokinematics, reducing nociceptive input, and improving movement efficiency. When combined with structured telerehabilitation exercises, it likely created a synergistic effect addressing both mechanical dysfunction and neuromuscular control.(25)

Conditions

  • Sub Acromial Impingement Syndrome
  • Mulligan Mobilization

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Tele-rehabilitation

Participants will receive a structured tele-rehabilitation program combined with self-administered Mulligan mobilization with movement techniques for subacromial pain syndrome. Tele-rehabilitation will include supervised online physiotherapy sessions consisting of shoulder range of motion exercises strengthening exercises stretching postural correction and home exercise guidance delivered virtually. Self-Mulligan techniques will be taught and performed by participants under physiotherapist supervision.

BEHAVIORAL

Self Mulligan Technique

Participants performed self Mulligan mobilization with movement techniques for the shoulder under physiotherapist supervision in addition to the tele-rehabilitation program. The intervention aimed to reduce pain and improve shoulder range of motion and functional disability in patients with subacromial pain syndrome.
