Cyriax Capsular Stretching Technique and Mulligan Mobilization in Adhesive Capsulitis

Comparative Effects of Cyrixa Capsular Stretching Technique Versus Mulligan Mobilization in Adhesive Capsulitis

This study aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of Mulligan's mobilization versus the Cyriax capsular stretching technique for individuals suffering from adhesive capsulitis. Specifically, the research focuses on determining which approach is more successful in alleviating pain, improving shoulder range of motion (ROM), and reducing functional disability.

This randomized clinical trial, conducted in Gujranwala, involved 30 participants with adhesive capsulitis who were assigned via a lottery method into two equal groups: one receiving Cyriax capsular stretching and the other Mulligan's mobilization. Both cohorts underwent a standard baseline regimen of moist heat, TENS, and therapeutic exercises over a four-week period.

Inclusion Criteria:

• individuals with age thirty to sixty five years
• individuals with more than three months old frozen shoulder

Exclusion Criteria:

• arthritis of shoulder
• trauma
• surgery
