Journal Name:

Publication Year:

Abstract (2. Language): 
We reported a case of 50 year old male patient accountant by occupation with right hand dominance came with complaints of pain around right shoulder with difficulty in overhead activity since five months. He first approached to the orthopedic OPD five months back where he was diagnosed as a case of adhesive capsulitis. He was on medication since last five months (NSAIDS, and Muscle relaxants) initially the pain was severe and patient also had sleep disturbances due to pain, and was not able to carry out self care activities ( Hair combing, dressing etc.) with right shoulder. Then patient was referred to physiotherapy department for further management, where patient was thoroughly examined. A single case study design was used to achieve the objectives of this project. The present study was designed to determine the use of Gong’s Mobilization on shoulder abduction range of motion in adhesive capsulitis over two week period thus reducing the pain and improve normal abduction range of motion. From present study we may conclude that Gong’s Mobilization is useful in improving shoulder abduction range of motion in a patient of adhesive capsulitis.
