A RECORD OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PHYSIOTHERAPEUTIC TREATMENT METHODS FOR SHOULDER JOINT CONDITIONS. In this project the results of two methods of physiotherapeutic treatment for shoulder pathology are compared. Two groups of patients were treated. Group A with passive mobilisation techniques according to Maitland and Group B with active exercises, ultrasound and transverse frictions. The results indicate that passive mobilisation is a more effective method of treatment than the conservative methods.
