Abstract:
Objective Toobserve the therapeutic effect of mobilization with movement for patients with secondary frozen shoulder.
Methods Clinical data about 35 patients with secondary frozen shoulder admittedtorehabilitation department of Chinese PLA General Hospital fromFebruary 2014 toFebruary 2015 were enrolledand patients were rand omly dividedintocontrol group(n=17) and treatment group(n=18), patients in control groupwere treatedwith Maitland joint mobilization, while patients in treatment groupwere treatedwith mobilization with movement. After 6 weeks of treatment, the shoulder range of motion of twogroups was compared.
Results After 6 weeks of treatment, the shoulder range of motion in twogroups were increased. The ROM of treatment groupwere significantly higher than that of control groupflexion (155.50±21.57)°

Conclusion Comparedwith Maitland joint mobilization, the application of mobilization with movement in treatment of secondary frozen shoulder is more effective.
