Abstract Objective: The present study compared the effectiveness of the conventional physiotherapy technique and Grade-III Maitland’s mobilization for treating persistent adhesive capsulitis.
Methods: The study included forty patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder, divided into two groups. Group A Received Grade III Maitland mobilization along with supervised exercises five days a week for four weeks, while Group B underwent conventional physiotherapy. The outcome was measured using the shoulder range of motion (ROM), shoulder discomfort, and the disability Index.
Results: There was significant improvement in the patient’s ROM, and pain and disability were reduced significantly. The results of Grade-III Maitland mobilization were significantly better than conventional physiotherapy in improving movement and decreasing pain and disability.
Conclusion: This study concludes that grade-III Maitland mobilization in addition to exercise is effective in increasing range and decreasing pain and disability.
