Mobilization With Movement Versus Soft Tissue Mobilization in Patients With De Quervain Tenosynovitis

Effects of Mobilization With Movement Versus Soft Tissue Mobilization on Pain Function and ROM in Patients With De Quervain Tenosynovitis: A Randomised Controlled Trail

this study will investigate the effects of mobilization with movement in addition to soft tissue mobilization on pain and range of motion in patients suffering from De Quervain Tenosynovitis.

De quervain tenosynovitis also known as stenosing tenosynovitis is a condition which occur when tendons at the base of thumb pinched and become irritated. Several treatment options are available like ultrasound, Graston therapy, thrust or non-thrust manipulation, mobilization with movement, soft tissue mobilization but this study focus on 2 treatments to improve malalignment of the joint and also reduce pain. First treatment is mobilization with movement in which passive accessory mobilization from therapist while active mobility is performed by patient. Second technique is soft tissue mobilization in which passive glides are applied. The purpose of study is to make comparison between mobilization with movement and soft tissue mobilization.
