Individuals with obesity often exhibit restricted range of motion (ROM), exacerbated by muscle weakness, joint stiffness, and altered posture. Whole-body cryostimulation (WBC), involving exposure to low temperatures, has shown promise in alleviating inflammation and improving physical performance. This study evaluates the acute and short-term effects of WBC combined with rehabilitation on spinal and shoulder ROM in individuals with obesity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>This non-randomized controlled trial included 42 adults with obesity undergoing a 4-week multidisciplinary rehabilitation program consisting of nutritional intervention, psychological support, physiotherapy, and physical activity. Participants were divided into two groups: a WBC group [WG, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921; 12 males (BMI\u2009=\u200938.77\u2005kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>), 9 females (BMI\u2009=\u200938.45\u2005kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>)] receiving 10 sessions (\u2212110\u00b0C, 2\u2005min\/session) alongside rehabilitation, and a control group [CG, <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200921; 12 males (BMI\u2009=\u200943.37\u2005kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>), 9 females (BMI\u2009=\u200941.86\u2005kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>)] receiving rehabilitation alone. ROM for spine-related (i.e., anterior flexion, lateral bending, rotation) and shoulder-related (i.e., frontal rise, lateral rise, backward push) motor tasks was assessed at different time-points using a marker-based optoelectronic motion capture (MoCap) system. Repeated-measures (RM-ANOVA) analyzed changes within groups over time, <jats:italic>post hoc t<\/jats:italic>-tests identified significant effects, and mixed RM-ANOVA compared changes between groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Except for anterior flexion, WG showed significant improvements (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05) in ROM and task duration across all movements, with moderate to large effect sizes (0.20\u2009\u2264\u2009<jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.80). For instance, improvements were reported for ROM in shoulder flexion (acute-post: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.045, <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.43) and extension (pre-post: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001, <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.51), as well as for spinal rotation (pre-post: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.029, <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.42). Similarly, task duration reductions across all tasks, such as spinal rotation (pre-post: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.040, <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.45) and lateral bending (pre-post: <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.025, <jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.54). Conversely, CG showed no significant ROM changes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>WBC, when combined with rehabilitation, led to significant improvements in spinal and shoulder ROM.
