Abstract

Shoulder injuries are common among geriatric population. As it leads to limited joint range, pain and limiting daily function.

Aims & Objectives of this original presentation was to analyze effects of 2 months of mobilization prior to manipulation under GA and two months of the post manipulation using shoulder function index.

Materials & Methodology: 63 year old female post traumatic stiffness of left shoulder was treated for 2 months of mobilization, then she was treated with manipulation under GA (MUA) and physiotherapy restarted, For 2 months in Chennai between 03.09.2017 to 04.01.2018.

Results: Pre & Post physiotherapy before MUA was P<.05 and after manipulation under GA for 2 months period using shoulder function index P<.001

Conclusion: Proper physiotherapy modalities following injuries promote earlier recovery of functional activities.

Keywords: Manipulation under General Anesthesia, Manual Therapy, Adhesive Causalities, Shoulder Function Index.
