Abstract

[Purpose] This study’s purpose was to verify the effects of Gong’s mobilization on shoulder medial rotation range of motion (ROM). [Subjects] This study selected 40 healthy male and female college students and allocated them equationually to either a Gong’s mobilization group or an anterior to posterior gliding group (A-P group). [Methods] Gong’s mobilization and anterior to posterior gliding were performed repetitively 10?15 times and a goniometer was used to measure shoulder medial rotation ROM. [Results] Both Gong’s mobilization and anterior to posterior gliding increased shoulder medial rotation ROM, but Gong?fs mobilization was more effective. [Conclusion] Gong’s mobilization is an end-range mobilization technique in which the shoulder joints are maintained in the normal position. It is applicable as a method for increasing ROM in the clinical field.
