Summary
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.
