Mulligan Mobilization Combined with Conventional Therapy vs. Conventional Care Alone in Patients with Rotator Cuff Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: Rotator cuff disease (RCD) is one of the most common causes of shoulder dysfunction, often resulting in pain, limited range of motion (ROM), and reduced function. Mulligan Mobilization with Movement (MWM) has been proposed as an effective adjunct to conventional therapy by correcting positional faults and improving joint mechanics. However, the overall evidence in RCD remains inconclusive. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Mulligan mobilization combined with conventional therapy versus conventional therapy alone on pain, functionality, ROM, joint position sense, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with RCD. Methods: A comprehensive literature search was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and the Cochrane Library from dat
