“…Moreover, contracture of the shoulder posterior capsule is known to cause internal rotation reduction in abduction at 90° 31 ) . Gong et al 32 ) observed that posterior translation is effective for increasing shoulder internal rotation in normal individuals. Thus, the posterior translation applied in the present study likely contributed to the increased internal rotation by stretching the posterior capsule.…”

[Purpose] This study compared the use of the Maitland mobilization and Kaltenborn mobilization techniques for improving pain and range of motion in patients with frozen shoulders. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 20 patients with frozen shoulder who visited Hospital H, Ulsan, Korea. The subjects were divided randomly into two groups to receive Maitland or Kaltenborn mobilization to the affected shoulder. Grade III anteroposterior oscillation and posterior translation were used for the Maitland and Kaltenborn mobilization groups, respectively. Pain and range of motion of external and internal rotation were evaluated pre- and post-intervention in both groups. Paired t-tests were used to compare the pre- and post-intervention results in both groups, and independent t-tests were used to compare groups. [Results] Both groups exhibited significant decreases in pain post-intervention. Moreover, the range of motion of internal and external rotation increased significantly post-intervention in both groups. However, there was no significant difference between groups with respect to pain improvement or range of motion. [Conclusion] The posterior Maitland and Kaltenborn mobilization techniques are effective for improving pain and range of motion in frozen shoulder patients. Therefore, we recommend both techniques for such patients.

“…The measurement of shoulder abduction was performed with the subjects standing against a flat wall and maintaining extension of the elbow joint while restricting lateral flexion of the trunk. The subjects then conducted shoulder abduction and ROM was measured using a goniometer (USA) while the ulnar side of the forearm and the 5th finger remained in contact with the wall 10) . Internal and external rotation of the shoulder were measured with the subject in the supine position, with the GHJ at 90° abduction and the elbow joint (EJ) at 90° flexion, while the front shoulder joint was held to prevent compensatory action, and the rotational axis was fixed to prevent movement during rotation.…”

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between the humeral head anterior glide posture (HHAGP) and elbow joint angle (EJA), forward head posture (FHP), and glenohumeral joint (GHJ) range of motion (ROM).[Subjects] The subjects were 47 college students (10 male, 37 female) in whom more than one third of the humeral head was anteriorly translated against the acromion.[Methods] Humeral head distance (HHD) was measured with vernier calipers and EJA and FHP were measured using NIH Image J software for lateral body imaging obtained with a digital camera. GHJ ROM was measured with a goniometer.[Results] Increases in HHD were accompanied by decreases in internal rotation (IR) and abduction (AB), while increases in forward head angle (FHA) accompanied decreases in EJA. Increases in EJA occurred together with increases in external rotation (ER). IR and ER increased with increases in AB.[Conclusion] HHD influences EJA, IR, and AB; therefore, HHD should be considered in therapeutic approaches for these factors.

“…According to the results of a previous study, Gong's mobilization was more effective than anterior to posterior gliding at improving shoulder abduction ROM 4) . However, its effectiveness was limited because the mobilization was applied to subjects in the sitting position, and this posture is inappropriate for utilizing gravity and applying acceleration at the same time.…”
