Summary
This study compared two common physiotherapy techniques—Mulligan and Maitland mobilizations—in 42 adults aged 35-50 with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). The goal was to see which method better reduces pain, improves shoulder movement, and enhances daily function and quality of life. Participants received one of the two treatments, and outcomes were measured using pain scales, range of motion, and shoulder disability questionnaires.
