Comparative Study of Effects of Maitland Technique and Mulligan Technique in Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder

The two commonly used physiotherapy procedures for adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder are thoroughly compared in the book "Comparative Investigation of Effects of Maitland Technique and Mulligan Technique in Adhesive Capsulitis of Shoulder" by S. Jeyakumar. Frozen shoulder, or adhesive capsulitis, is a disorder that restricts the movement of the shoulder joint and causes discomfort and stiffness. The two methodologies are thoroughly analysed in the book, together with their guiding concepts, specific methods, and anticipated results. Whereas Mulligan technique requires joint mobilisation with movement, Maitland technique only involves passive joint mobilisation. The effectiveness of the two approaches in terms of pain relief, improved range of motion, and patient satisfaction is also covered in the book. The study's findings demonstrated that both treatments were successful in reducing discomfort and restoring range of motion in a group of individuals with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. However, Maitland approach produced superior outcomes in terms of pain relief while Mulligan technique demonstrated more improvement in shoulder abduction, flexion, and external rotation. Overall, this book is a wonderful resource for physiotherapists, orthopaedic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals who handle adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder since it offers insightful information about how to treat the problem.
