Article Main Content

Background: Frozen shoulder is the stage II of adhesive capsulitis characterized by progressive loss of shoulder movement and symptoms of pain, decrease joint range of motion.

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of kaltenborn mobilization technique grade-III to the treatment of frozen stage of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder joint.

Methods: This quasi-experimental study in total number of 40 respondent were diagnosed with frozen stage of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder joint and randomly allocated into 2 groups. Within both group (n=20) & experimental group were treated by kaltenborn mobilization technique grade III whereas control group were treated by routine physiotherapy treatment and apply one session per day for four weeks. Outcome measures used were Visual analog scale (VAS) and Shoulder disability questioner (SDI). Paired ‘t’-tests was used to compare the pre and posttest value of treatment within both groups. Participants were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Statistics & Results: Data was collected on a data sheet & encoded for computerized analysis using SPSS version 19. The statistical analysis of post values of Group A (Kaltenborn mobilization technique grade III) where VAS mean of pretest (6.90 ± 1.02) and posttest (4.35 ± 1.60) value where (p < 0.0001). SDI mean of pretest (4.1±1.45) and posttest (2.9 ±1.20) value where (p < 0.0002). In group B (Routine physiotherapy treatment) where VAS mean of pretest (6.75 ± 1.07) and posttest (6.25 ± 1.06) value where (p < 0.0003). SDI mean of pretest (4.1±1.45) and posttest (3.5 ±0.49) value where (p < 0.0077).

Conclusion: It was concluded that both techniques were effective but kaltenborn mobilization techniques grade III was more effective then routine physiotherapy technique.
