Arms

  • Experimental: Aquatic Mobilization with Movement
    Mulligan Mobilization with Movement will be administered in the aquatic environment using a belt, following identification of the most pain-free glide in addition to stretches and strengthening of lower limb. The technique will be performed for 10 repetitions over 3 sets and will be progressively advanced from non-weight-bearing mobilization to mobilization with overpressure, and subsequently to weight-bearing mobilization as tolerated by the patient.
  • Other: Land Mobilization with Movement
    Mulligan Mobilization with Movement will be administered on land using a belt, following identification of the most pain-free glide, in addition to stretches and strengthening of the lower limb. The technique will be performed for 10 repetitions over 3 sets and will be progressively advanced from non-weight-bearing mobilization to mobilization with overpressure, and subsequently to weight-bearing mobilization as tolerated by the patient.
