About

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of mulligan's mobilization on shoulder range of motion and subacromial joint space in paraplegic patients with subacromial impingement so, thirty patients will be randomly assigned to two groups group (A) and Group (B)

Full description

30 patients will be randomly assigned to two groups Group (A): will receive Mulligan's mobilization plus steroid injection for rotator cuff tendinopathy Group (B): will receive Steroid injection for rotator cuff tendinopathy only

Outcome measures will be:

• shoulder joint range of motion will be measured by laser goniometer
• Subacromial joint space will be measured by 3D ultrasonography

Enrollment: 30 patients
