Brief summary
The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Kinesiotaping with Mulligan's mobilization with movement in treating shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Thirty patients participated in a randomized control trial, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received Kinesiotaping, Mulligan's mobilization with movement, and conventional physiotherapy, while the control group received only Mulligan's mobilization with movement and conventional physiotherapy. Pain, range of motion, and functional outcomes were measured using a visual analogue scale, goniometer, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire.
Interventions
OTHERKinesio taping
Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a special elastic tape to the skin to support and stabilize muscles and joints without restricting their range of motion.
OTHERMulligan's mobilization with movement techniques
Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) techniques involve the application of a sustained manual force or glide to a joint while the patient actively performs a movement that is typically painful or restricted.
OTHERConventional physiotherapy
Mulligan Mobilization with Movement, Ultrasound Therapy, Active assisted ROM exercises for shoulder, Capsular Stretching exercises

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Analogue Scale | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks | The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a tool for measuring subjective experiences, like pain. It's typically a 10 cm line, with endpoints marking the extremes (e.g., no pain to worst imaginable pain). The minimum value is 0, and the maximum is 10. Respondents mark a point on the line that corresponds to their experience. Higher scores usually indicate worse outcomes for negative experiences like pain. |
| Range of motion | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks | Range of motion (ROM) measures the movement extent of a joint or body part, expressed in degrees. Minimum values indicate restricted movement (e.g., 0° signifies no movement), while maximum values represent full movement capacity (e.g., 180° for shoulder flexion). Higher scores generally indicate a better outcome, as they reflect greater flexibility and joint function. |
| Shoulder Pain and Disability Index | From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks | The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a 13-item questionnaire assessing pain and disability due to shoulder issues. Scores range from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating no pain/disability and 100 indicating severe pain/disability. Higher scores signify worse outcomes, reflecting greater pain and functional impairment. |
