About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of Kinesiotaping Along with Mulligan's Mobilization with Movement on Improving Pain and Function in Patients with Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder: a Randomized Controlled Trial
The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combining Kinesiotaping with Mulligan's mobilization with movement in treating shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Thirty patients participated in a randomized control trial, divided equally into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received Kinesiotaping, Mulligan's mobilization with movement, and conventional physiotherapy, while the control group received only Mulligan's mobilization with movement and conventional physiotherapy. Pain, range of motion, and functional outcomes were measured using a visual analogue scale, goniometer, and the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) questionnaire.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Kinesio tapingOther
Kinesio taping is a therapeutic technique that involves applying a special elastic tape to the skin to support and stabilize muscles and joints without restricting their range of motion.
Mulligan's mobilization with movement techniquesOther
Mulligan's mobilization with movement (MWM) techniques involve the application of a sustained manual force or glide to a joint while the patient actively performs a movement that is typically painful or restricted.
Conventional physiotherapyOther
Mulligan Mobilization with Movement, Ultrasound Therapy, Active assisted ROM exercises for shoulder, Capsular Stretching exercises
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental Group | Experimental | The experimental group received Kinesiotaping, Mulligan's mobilization with movement, and conventional physiotherapy. Receives: Other: Kinesio taping; Other: Mulligan's mobilization with movement techniques; Other: Conventional physiotherapy |
| Control Group | Active comparator | Control group received only Mulligan's mobilization with movement and conventional physiotherapy Receives: Other: Mulligan's mobilization with movement techniques; Other: Conventional physiotherapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Analogue Scale
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a tool for measuring subjective experiences, like pain. It's typically a 10 cm line, with endpoints marking the extremes (e.g., "no pain" to "worst imaginable pain"). The minimum value is 0, and the maximum is 10. Respondents mark a point on the line that corresponds to their experience. Higher scores usually indicate worse outcomes for negative experiences like pain.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
Range of motion
Range of motion (ROM) measures the movement extent of a joint or body part, expressed in degrees. Minimum values indicate restricted movement (e.g., 0° signifies no movement), while maximum values represent full movement capacity (e.g., 180° for shoulder flexion). Higher scores generally indicate a better outcome, as they reflect greater flexibility and joint function.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a 13-item questionnaire assessing pain and disability due to shoulder issues. Scores range from 0 to 100, with 0 indicating no pain/disability and 100 indicating severe pain/disability. Higher scores signify worse outcomes, reflecting greater pain and functional impairment.
Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 weeks
