Background: Frozen shoulder, also called adhesive capsulitis, involves stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. Signs and symptoms typically begin slowly, then get worse. Over time, symptoms get better, usually within 1 to 3 years. Globally, the incidence of frozen shoulder is estimated to be 2 to 5 percent of the general population is estimated at 2–5%. According to past researches frozen shoulder found to affect 8.2% of men and 10.1% of women. Different treatment options are used to treat this problem in which mobilizations and other methods are also used as treatment option.

 Method: Diagnosed frozen shoulder patient were included in research with the sample size of 42. participants were divide in 2 groups A(METS) and B( kaltenborn mobilization). Among them ratio of male and female participants was 12(57.1) and 9(42.9) respectively in group A. and the ratio of male and female participants was 13(61.9) and 8(38.1) respectively. The means age in mets and kaltenborn technique was 49.9±6.5 and 50.2±6.0 respectively.

Result. There was Significant improvement at post-treatment levels in pain and ROM and SPADI in both groups. Although ROM improvement and pain reduction was improved in both groups but statistically significant (p<0.05) between group shown kaltenborn was superior to METs in improving range. And mets showed significant decrease in SPADI.

Conclusion:

The study showed the statistics which indicates that muscle energy and kaltenborn mobilization in frozen shoulder patients both are helping hand in improving range of motion but mets showed significant decrease in SPADI.
