It has been suggested that the
application of a posterior glide MWM to the shoulder
may correct this fault and allow optimal pain-free motion
to occur (Mulligan, 1999). Hsu et al. (2000) in a study of
11 cadavers, found the application of an anterior–
posterior glide towards the end of range of abduction
was effective in improving the range of glenohumeral
abduction. To date, no studies have investigated the
effects of the MWM in people with shoulder pain and
reduced ROM. The aim of our study was to evaluate the
effect of a MWM on shoulder ROM and PPT.
