“…Pragassme et al [18] conducted a comparative study of pain intensity, shoulder abduction and external ROM in patients with adhesive capsulitis in subjects who were 40-60 years old, and the group that received the Mulligan technique showed significant differences in pain intensity and ROM (p<0.05).…”

“…Decicco and Fisher [20] investigated the effects of using the HR technique on shoulder flexion and external rotation ROM of the shoulder, and found increases in ROM with soft tissue elongation. In addition, Pragassme [18] studied the effects of MWM, which showed increases in ROM by reducing the stiffness of the joint sac secondary to arthroscopic surgery. It can be considered that shoulder flexion ROM increased with the HR technique and MWM.…”

“…A glide was applied over the pain-free range during slow active shoulder movements and was released after returning to the starting position. This process was repeated 15 times in 3 sets, and a 1-minute rest period was provided between each set ( Figure 2) [18]. With the MWM's method for external rotation of the shoulder joint, the subject had a folded towel under the scapula while lying in a comfortable position, and the elbow flexed to 90°.…”

“…In the meantime, the therapist stood on the other side and held the subject's humeral head and applied the slide within pain-free range, back and outwards based on the joint concavity. This process was repeated 15 times in 3 sets, and a 30 seconds rest period was provided between each set ( Figure 3) [18]. A pressure gauge (hand dynamomter) was used to apply a uniform pressure (5 N) to the slide that was applied to the subject [19].…”

“…In order to measure the shoulder flexion ROM, the subject maintained the anatomical posture in the supine position, and a goniometer was used to measure the flexion angle of the humeral head with the axis of the shoulder joint [18].…”

Objective: This study investigated the effects of combining both mobilization and hold-relax (HR) technique on the function of post-surgical patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Forty-five surgical patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis participated in this study and were randomly divided into three groups; both mobilization with movement (MWM) and HR technique (HR-MWM) group (n=15), the MWM group (n=15), and control group (n=15). All participants received three different interventions; 1) MWM combined with HR technique in PNF stretching on the shoulder, 2) MWM on the shoulder, 3) general physical therapy and intervention with neither MWM or HR stretching. Pre-and post-intervention, each subject was randomly evaluated for shoulder flexion range of motion (ROM), shoulder flexor muscle strength, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and the Korean version of the Shoulder Pain And Disability Index (SPADI). Results: The MWM combined with HR technique group had significant effects on shoulder flexion ROM, shoulder flexor muscle strength, VAS and SPADI compared to the MWM and control group (p<0.05). The MWM group showed a significantly greater increase in shoulder flexion ROM compared to the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions: These findings suggest that combining both the MWM and HR technique on the shoulder may more effectively improve shoulder function than MWM alone or without MWM&HR technique. Therefore, combining both the MWM and HR technique is a suggested intervention for increasing function due to shoulder adhesive capsulitis after surgery.
