Effect of Mulligan's Mobilization on Shoulder Joint Range of Motion and Subacromial Space in Paraplegic Patients

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)

About this study

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

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • More than one year after traumatic spinal cord injury
  • The injury is at the second thoracic level or below.
  • No cognitive impairment
  • Relying on manual wheelchair for main movement.

Exclusion criteria

  • No frozen shoulder
  • No subluxation

Treatment and study plan

Mulligan's mobilization

Other

Mulligan mobilization isthe concurrent application of sustained accessory mobilization applied by a therapist and an active physiological movement to end range applied by the patient.

corticosteroid injection for rotator cuff tendinopathy

Other

corticosteroid injection for rotator cuff helps resolving inflammation which occur for paraplegic patients from overuse of the crutches

Primary outcomes

  1. Shoulder joint range of motion

    Time frame: Two months

    Shoulder joint ROM ( flexion - abduction- external and internal rotation will be measured by The laser goniometer HALO

Secondary outcomes

  1. Subacromial joint space

    Time frame: Two months

    3D Ultrasonography enables the identification of common shoulder pathologies, and it will be utilized to assess the subacromial space as a kinematic indication of the shoulder.
