By Krishna N. Sharma, Miss Diang Hilda Ngwe Pt, Dr. Krishna N. Sharma

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of Mulligan MWM versus KKMT on improving pain and reducing level of functional disabilities in subjects with non-specific shoulder pain. Methods: 8 subjects, 3 males and 5 females with mean age 35.13 13SD years diagnosed with non-specific shoulder pain were recruited and randomly allocated into two groups. In Group I (n=4) subjects were treated with KKMT and conventional therapy thrice a week for 4 weeks, whereas Group II (n=4) subjects were treated with mulligan mobilization and conventional therapy. Outcome used was Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and recorded before and after 4 weeks. Results: Statistical analysis was done using, student two tailed independent t Test for difference between groups and student two tailed dependent t Test for difference within groups. Microsoft word and Excel was used to generate graphs, tables. Analysis of the data revealed that both groups has significant changes in pain with p value of KKMT being 0.016 and that of Mulligan being 0.028 and level of disabilities with p value of KKMT 0.0029 being and that of Mulligan being 0.041 within them both in SPADI score and comparing both groups, showing the group which received KKMT and conventional therapy is more effective with p value of 0.016 for pain reduction and p value of 0.0029 for reduction in level of functional disabilities which are both less than the p values of Mulligan for both SPADI Score parameters. Conclusion: it was concluded that KKMT is more effective than Mulligan mobilization in reducing pain and level of functional disabilities in subjects with non-specific shoulder pain.
