Diabetes metabolic disorders can lead to changes in connective tissue and adhesive capsulitis (AC) is one of the most common complications that occour with diabetes where it is defined as pain restriction in the glenohumeral joint capsule that causes limitation in ROM of shoulder. Physiotherapy has many modalities that proved their role in improving symptoms of AC and so this study was aiming to Know which is more effective in improving symptoms: ROM (flexion, abduction, external rotation, internal rotation) and Shoulder pain , Reflexology, or Maitland mobilization in treatment of type II diabetic patients.Thirty patients from both genders with age ranged from 50-60 years were recruited for this study. They were divided randomly into two groups of equal number (Group A – Maitland mobilization) and (Group B – Reflexology). Data obtained from both groups before and after 8 successive weeks of intervention was statistically treated to analyze the scores of visual analogue scale (score), shoulder flexion ROM (angle), shoulder abduction ROM (angle), shoulder internal rotation ROM (angle) and shoulder external rotation ROM (angle) to determine which is more e.
