Abstract: Stiffness is one of the complications in traumatic injury as it affects many of the daily activities. Every individual at least once in his lifetime susceptible to any type of traumatic injury. Hand and wrist are most active and intricate part of Upper extremity due to this they are vulnerable to injury leading to large functional difficulties. The functional activities affected are self-care activities and vocational activities. (MWM) technique bring about improvement in pain and functional status after immediate application. This pilot study aims to elucidate the effectiveness of MULLIGAN TECNIQUE (MWM) in finger stiffness. The aim and objectives are to investigate the hypothesis that MWM technique in finger stiffness is more effective than other conventional therapy in finger stiffness. Finger stiffness hinders day to day activities and all vocational activities. Therefore, reducing finger stiffness through MWM technique would relieve stiffness and there by effective functional mobility of fingers are achieved. The methodology used in this study is a single blind study of 30 participants aged between 20 to 40 years, divided evenly into Group A and B. Group A received only wax bath and graded oscillatory mobilization. In this study, the pre and post outcome measures were measured through Grip strength by Hand dynamometer and Pain by VAS scale. The result of the study shows that Mulligan technique (MWM) along with graded oscillatory mobilization and wax bath is beneficial effect on finger stiffness rather than graded oscillatory mobilization and wax bath. This pilot study states that the experimental hypothesis is proved with regard to the variables of pain and grip strength. Further studies on the effect of MWM in various specific joint stiffness and aetiological conditions entitles to determine the absolute and relative effect in these population.
