About

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.
