Background: Frozen Shoulder is a painful shoulder condition with insidious onset that was associated with stiffness and loss of motion in the shoulder joint. Mulligan Mobilization with Movement for shoulder joint combines sustained manual application of ‘gliding’ force to a joint, with the aim of repositioning the positional faults with concurrent physiological motion of the joint. Kinesiotaping improves glenohumeral motions and reduces microtrauma and mechanical irritation of soft tissue structures and reorient shoulder movements through arc of improved glenohumeral motion.Objective: To compare effect of Mulligan Mobilization with Movement and Kinesiotaping on pain and active shoulder range of motion using VAS and universal goniometer.Method: 30 subjects were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and were randomly allocated into 2 groups of 15 each. Group A received Mulligan Mobilization with Movement and Group B received Kinesiotaping for shoulder joint. Pre and Post intervention shoulder external rotation, abduction and internal rotation range of motion and VAS scores were analysed.Result: The statistical analysis showed that there is a significant increase in range of motion and significant reduction in pain scores post intervention in both the groups (p<0.0001). However, inter group analysis showed that Group A is much more effective in improving range of motion and reducing pain scores.Conclusion: The present study concluded that Mulligan Mobilization With Movement is a better intervention on Frozen shoulder as it shows greater increase in shoulder range of motion and significant pain reduction when compared to Kinesiotaping technique.Key words: Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM), Kinesiotaping, Frozen shoulder, pain, Range of Motion.
