Conditions
Interventions
Shockwave
From sitting with shoulder abducted at 45 degree and elbow flexed and the forearm rested on flat surface, The patients in the intervention group B received shock wave therapy once a week for 4 weeks. The focus probe sets were used and, in each session, patients received ESWT from anterior and posterior directions (on the average 1200 shocks between 0.1 and 0.3 mJ/mm2) up to the maximum threshold of pain tolerance in the shoulder
Mulligan mobilization
Mobilization with movement (MWM) is the concurrent application of sustained accessory mobilization applied by a therapist and an active physiological movement to end range applied by the patient. Passive end-of-range overpressure, or stretching, is then delivered without pain as a barrier
Conventional treatment
Conventional treatment will be axillary ultrasound and laser ,low loading stretching exercise and home program exercises
