About this trial
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of cervical and thoracic mobilization training on posture, shoulder pain, joint range of motion and shoulder function in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Digital Goniometer Evaluation
Shoulder range of motion will be evaluated via digital goniometer. Flexion, extension, internal rotation and external rotation ranges will be recorded in degrees.
Secondary outcomes
Craniovertebral Angle Measurement
To assess head posture, craniovertebral angle measurement will be performed. A device with the relevant software installed will be used for the measurement. The angle will be measured for both the symptomatic and asymptomatic sides. Results will be recorded in degrees.
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to evaluate pain for rest, activity and night periods. The data will be recorded in centimeters.On this scale, which is assessed by marking a line 10 centimetres long, the value "0" represents no pain, while the value "10" represents the most severe pain. As the score increases, the pain aggravates.
Scapular Tilt
The distance between the acromion and the bed will be measured while the shoulders are relaxed and retracted on supine position. The results will be recorded in centimeters.
Lateral Scapular Slide Test
This test is performed to determine the position of the scapula in the 0°, 45°, and 90° abduction positions of the shoulder. It is performed by determining the distance of the lower angle of the scapula from the corresponding thoracic spinal protuberance in the horizontal plane. All measurements will repeated 3 times and the results will be recorded in centimeters.
