Treatments tested in this trial

  • Spinal Mobilization with Arm Movement

    Other intervention

    Intervention: Spinal Mobilization with Arm Movement (SMWAM) Position: Participant seated upright with neutral spine and head posture Technique: Sustained transverse glide applied to the C4 spinous process toward the side opposite the affected shoulder during active shoulder abduction Movement: Active shoulder abduction to the pain-free or maximum tolerated range, followed by return to the starting position while maintaining the glide Dosage: 10 repetitions per session Purpose: To reduce pain, improve shoulder mobility, and enhance functional movement.

  • Kaltenborn Mobilization

    Other intervention

    Intervention: Kaltenborn Mobilization Technique (KMT) Pre-treatment: Moist hot pack application Techniques: Grade I glenohumeral traction, Grade III ventral glide, and Grade III caudal glide Dosage: 15 repetitions of each technique with a 30-second hold and 10-second rest between repetitions Duration: Approximately 10 minutes per session Purpose: To improve glenohumeral joint mobility, reduce pain, and increase shoulder range of motion.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pain by Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is an 11-point self-reported scale (0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain) used to assess pain intensity in clinical and research settings.

Time frame
6 weeks
2

Range of Motion (External Rotation, Abduction, Internal Rotation)

A goniometer is a standard clinical instrument used to measure joint range of motion (ROM)

Time frame
6 weeks
3

Functional Disability

The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a 13-item self-administered questionnaire used to assess shoulder pain and functional disability.

Time frame
6 weeks
