Effects of Gong's Mobilization With and Without Scapular High Lift on Shoulder Range of Motion and Functional Recovery in Adhesive Capsulitis.

Effects of Gong's Mobilization With and Without Scapular High Lift on Shoulder Range of Motion and Functional Recovery in Adhesive Capsulitis; a Randomized Clinical Trial

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Gongs Mobilization with and without scapular High-lift in the management of Adhesive Capsulitis, focusing on specific outcomes like pain, functional outcomes, and work productivity.

This study will be a randomized controlled trial with a sample size of 42 participants, as calculated by the G power tool, with 5 % attrition rate, diagnosed with Adhesive Capsulitis. Subjects will be selected through non-probability convenient sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, and randomly assigned into two groups, with 21 participants in each group. Group A will receive Gong mobilization with scapular high-lift, while Group B will receive Gong mobilization without scapular high-lift, both in conjunction with conventional therapy. Demographic Data will also be collected. Baseline and post-intervention data will be collected using SPADI, NPRS, and a goniometer. Data will be analyzed by using IBM SPSS 26.0. At the same time, the Shapiro-Wilk test will be applied to check normality.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants, including both males and females.
• aged 40 to 60 years.
• Diagnosed with unilateral Adhesive capsulitis at the 2nd or 3rd stage of the disease

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of any trauma, tumor, fracture, surgery, or infection in a shoulder joint.
• Patient with pregnancy and a history of abnormal neurological status (radiculopathy, stroke with hemiplegia, brachial plexus injury).
• Restricted shoulder due to burns or postoperative scars.
• Moderate or High levels of diabetes.
