Maitland Mobilization and Scapular Stabilization Shoulder Dysfunction

"MM applies a passive oscillatory technique, classified from Grade I-IV with respect to intensity, to the shoulder in order to treat pain and stiffness.~Grade I refers to an intensity of small amplitude that is applied at the beginning of the joint ROM, where there is no loading on connective tissue; it is often used in cases of severe pain"

"Scapular stabilization exercises are thought to have an important role in improving pain and dysfunction in the shoulder. The concept that an unstable~scapula is associated with pathology and dysfunction of the shoulder is well accepted. The predominant theory emphasizes that for optimal function of the glenohumeral joint, the scapula must provide a stable base upon which upper extremity tasks are completed. Impaired scapular stability increases the risk for pathologies such as impingement or rotator cuff tears"
