Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of the mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation methods in the treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome.Forty patients were included in the study and they were divided into two groups: Group 1 was treated by mobilization and Group 2 by proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). All findings were scored using a visual analogue scale, joint range of motion, and University of California at Los Angeles criteria, before and after treatment.It was observed that mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation methods are both similarly effective, but mobilization was painless and better tolerated than PDF.
