Reliability of stiffness measured in glenohumeral joint and its application to assess the effect of end-range mobilization in subjects with adhesive capsulitis

The Effects of Gongrsquo;s Mobilization Applied to the Shoulder Joint on Shoulder Medial Rotation

“…Roubal et al 9) carried out studies on increasing the ROM of shoulder joints and reported that the performance of gliding to gleno-humeral (GH) joints for 8 patients increased joint ROM in bending, abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation positions by 68, 77, 49, and 45 degrees, respectively. Lin et al 10) noted that the application of end-range mobilization techniques on patients with hypomobile joints due to adhesive capsulitis resulted in increased passive abduction angles and rotational ROM. In the majority of studies, measurement of ROM and end-range mobilization treatments in particular produced a positive outcome of increased abduction and rotational ROM 11,12) .…”

In Vitro Manual Therapy and Biorobotic Simulation of Glenohumeral Joint Mobilization Techniques

“…No biomechanical study investigating the effects of commonly used gliding techniques on GH joint three dimensional (3D) biomechanics are currently known (Nicholson, 1985;Hsu and Headman., 2002;Karduna et al, 2005;Johnson et al, 2007;Lin et al, 2008;Ho et al 2009;Kelley et al, 2009;McQuade et al, 2012). The objectives of this study were to develop an in vitro protocol to determine the 3D biomechanical effects of joint mobilization on the GH joint, and to then simulate these mobilizations.…”

“…This model is supported by previous research which found shoulder joint mobilization to be effective for decreasing pain (Johnson et al, 2007;McQuade et al, 2012) and increasing range of motion (Nicholson, 1985;Vermeulen et al, 2000;Vermeulen et al, 2006;Johnson et al, 2007) in patients with shoulder joint hypomobility. Cadaveric studies have demonstrated increased range of motion following application of joint mobilization techniques (Branch et al, 1999;Lin et al, 2008). However, many intervention studies have found no improvement in ROM following joint mobilization.…”

“…Further, the consistency in how the different Physical Therapists performed similar mobilization techniques remains unknown. No other biomechanical studies investigating the effects of commonly used gliding techniques on GH joint 3D biomechanics are currently known (Nicholson, 1985;Hsu and Headman., 2002;Karduna et al, 2005;Johnson et al, 2007;Lin et al, 2008;Ho et al 2009;Hsu et al, 2009;Kelley et al, 2009;McQuade et al, 2012). The purpose of this study was to develop a biomechanical model for quantifying GH joint mobilization techniques performed by experienced Physical Therapists.…”
