Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

One of the main complications after stroke is hemiplegic shoulder pain. It is known that one of the most frequent causes of hemiplegic shoulder pain is a restricted range of motion in the shoulder joint. Therefore, it is necessary to preserve the passive range of motion by using the most optimal mobilization technique. The aim of this study is to compare 2 different techniques in order to document their influence on shoulder range of motion and shoulder pain in stroke patients.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Angular mobilization

Angular mobilization of the shoulder joint in the frontal plane.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Glenohumeral mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Comparing the effect of angular mobilization in frontal or scapular plane and of providing soft tissue techniques on hemiplegic shoulder range of motion and pain.

Angular mobilization with soft tissue techniques

Angular mobilization performed in the scapular plane. Additional soft tissue techniques to eliminate limitations created by tensed muscles in order to perform capsular stretch.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Glenohumeral mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Comparing the effect of angular mobilization in frontal or scapular plane and of providing soft tissue techniques on hemiplegic shoulder range of motion and pain.

Scapular mobilization

Scapular mobilization without glenohumeral movement.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Scapular mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER
