Abstract (2. Language): 
Introduction: Currently no any standard medical, surgical, or therapy regimen is universally accepted as the most efficacious treatment for restoring motion in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Present study was planned to check the short term effectiveness of anterior and posterior Kaltenborne joint mobilization techniques for improving shoulder external rotation range of motion in patients with shoulder adhesive capsulitis. Methodology: Total of 40 patients diagnosed with shoulder adhesive capsulitis were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups. In Group A (n= 20) subjects were treated with Therapeutic ultrasound (8mins,2w/cm2,3Mhz),Kalternborn anterior mobilization techniques ,Stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for roatator cuff using theratubes, whereas subjects in Group B (n= 20) received Therapeutic ultrasound (8mins,2w/cm2,3Mhz),Kalternborn posterior mobilization techniques ,Stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for roatator cuff using theratubes. These were recorded before and after the session of the training. Total duration of the study was 2weeks. Results : Statistical analysis of the data revealed that Group A and Group B, there was a highly significant difference between VAS1 and VAS6 (P<0.01), highly significant difference in ROM1 and ROM6(P<0.01) , highly significant difference in Functional Assessment Questionnaire Score FAS1 and FAS6(P<0.01). Conclusion: The study confirmed that Posterior Kaltenborne joint mobilization is effective as compared to anterior Kaltenborne joint mobilization and to bring about overall improvement in the condition.
