Text: Analysis of the mean improvements in abduction and forward flexion showed these to be significantly greater in the steroid with distension and steroid only groups than in the distension only group (mean improvements in abduction (degrees/week (95 % confidence interval)) 4. 3 (3. 4 to 5. 2), 3. 4 (2. 4 to 4. 5), and 1. 0 (-0. 8 to 2. 8) in the three groups respectively ; mean improvements in flexion (degrees/week (95 % confidence interval)) 3. 6 (3. 2 to 4. 0), 3. 3 (2. 3 to 4. 3), and 1. 5 (0. 5 to 2. 5) respectively).
