@#Objective To study Joint Mobilization on shoulder pain after stroke. Methods Hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain after stroke were treated with joint mobilization. The effects were determined by the simple McGill Questionnaires and Fugal-Meyer upper extremity functional score before and 30 days after treatment.Results The pain scores of the treatment group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.01), the upper extremity functional scores of the treatment group were significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.01).Conclusion Joint mobilization for hemiplegic patients with shoulder pain after stroke can significantly reduce shoulder pain and effectively improve upper extremity function.
