“…The intervention for group B included the application of hot packs on the upper back and neck for 7 to 10 minutes. The patient was given sustained glide along the facet joint and simultaneously the physiological movement to the end range in such a way that the patient's neck posture remained neutral passively to induce normal cervical motion [10]. Flexion, side bending, and rotation of the patient were performed; 10-15 repetitions, 3 sessions every week on alternate days for 6 weeks.…”

“…The results of a study conducted by Kong et al suggest that the Mackenzie and Kendall program is very useful to cater to disabling conditions, neck range of motion (ROM), pain, and improved forward head posture due to mobile usage [9], while Gong et al reported that Gong mobilization used to increase the ROM is better than glides [10]. Hence, the literature supports the effectiveness of Kendall and Gong's intervention in reducing pain, and disability and improving cervical ROM in separate studies.…”

Objectives: To determine the impact of Kendall versus Gong’s intervention according to pain sensation, range of movement, function, strength, and posture in cases with text neck syndrome. Methods: This randomized clinical trial recruited a sample of 24 patients with text neck syndrome from Fatima Hospital, Sargodha, Pakistan from January to April 2021. The samples were randomly divided into 2 groups using the envelope method. Group A received Kendall’s intervention while group B received Gong’s mobilization. The intervention was performed in 18 sessions for each patient during 6 weeks i.e. 3 per week. Neck disability index, numeric pain rating scale, cervical range of motion (ROM), cranio-vertebral angle (CVA), rounded shoulder angle (RSA), and modified sphygmomanometer test were used to collect data. All outcomes were measured at baseline and six weeks after intervention and analyzed using SPSS software, version 23. T-test was used to analyze within and between-group differences, and P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: A significant difference with P<0.05 was observed for within and between group statistics. Gong’s mobilization showed more effectiveness (P<0.001) for all output measures depending on differences between mean scores. Discussion: The study concluded that both Kendall’s exercise and Gong’s mobilization were useful in the reduction of pain and functional disability; improvement in cervical range and strength of cervical muscles. However, Gong’s mobilization was superior to Kendall’s exercise in improving text neck syndrome for outcome measures, including neck pain, disability, craniovertebral angle, rounded shoulder angle, cervical range of motion (ROM), and cervical muscle strength.

Background and Objective:Frozen shoulder is a painful condition with gradual restriction of all planes of movement in the shoulder joint. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Gong's Mobilization versus Mulligan's Mobilization on Shoulder pain and Shoulder Medial Rotation mobility in subjects with Frozen shoulder.Method: An Experimental study design, 40 subjects with unilateral frozen shoulder were selected and randomized 20 subjects into each of two groups-Gong's mobilization and Mulligan's mobilization groups respectively. Gong's group received the Gong's mobilization technique with conventional therapy while Mulligan's group received Mulligan's mobilization along with conventional therapy. The duration of intervention was 5 treatment sessions per week for two weeks. Outcome measures such as shoulder medial rotation was measured using a Goniometer and pain was measured using a VAS scale before and after two weeks of intervention.Results: Analysis using Independent 't' test and Mann Whitney U test found that there is statistically significant difference p<0.000 when pre to post interventions means were compared within the groups. When post intervention means were compared between the Gong's and Mulligan's groups there was no statistically significant difference in Active and Passive Range of Shoulder Medial Rotation but there was statistically significant difference in VAS when compared between the groups. Conclusion:It is concluded that both Gong's mobilization with conventional therapy and Mulligan's mobilization with conventional therapy are effective in reducing pain and improving Shoulder Medial Rotation Mobility in Frozen Shoulder. However Gong's mobilization shown greater percentage of effect in reducing pain and Mulligan's Mobilization shown greater percentage in improving ROM.

Introduction. Physical therapy plays a significant role in managing frozen shoulder (FS), and it includes applying manual mobilization techniques to reduce pain, restore the extensibility of the shoulder capsule and increase range of motion (ROM). Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Gong's mobilization (GM) and Spencer technique (ST) in reducing pain, functional disability, and improving shoulder ROM on FS patients. Methods. A pre-and-post-test experimental study design was adopted, where thirty patients (n = 30) diagnosed with unilateral FS were selected and randomized into two groups of 15 using a simple random technique. Subjects in experimental group 1(EG-I) received ST technique and ultrasound therapy (US), with Codman's pendular exercise (CPE). Whereas experimental group II (EG-II) received GM technique and US, with CPE. The intervention lasted five days and consisted of one session every day. Three variables were assessed to study the treatment effectiveness both at the pre-intervention and at the end of the first week: (i) pain intensity as measured by the Visual Analogue Scale; (ii) shoulder ROM as measured by a goniometer (abduction, flexion, and medial rotation (MR)); and (iii) functional disability as measured by SPADI (Shoulder Pain Disability Index). Results. The EG-II showed a better reduction in pain intensity (mean difference (MD) of 0.87), SPADI (MD of 7), and increase in shoulder ROM (MD: 'abduction': 15.76; 'Flexion': 15.67; 'MR': 10.33) than the EG-I at 0.05 levels of significance. Conclusions. Gong's mobilization was found to be more effective than Spencer's technique with ultrasound therapy and CPE in treating patients with FS.
