NCT03022305

Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that neuromuscular realignment of the pelvis bones will be more effective in improving range of motion and torque production at the shoulder joint than traditional exercises for improving hip internal rotation and adduction range of motion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pelvic realignment achieved as indicated by negative Ober test on examination at completion of the training period..

    Results of the three groups, (1) standard conditioning, (2) neuromuscular conditioning, and (3) no conditioning, will be assessed for pelvic realignment following one week of each of these therapies.

    Outcomes will be assessed following one week for each of the therapy groups.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pelvic realignment achieved as indicated by negative Thomas test on examination at completion of the training period..

    Outcomes will be assessed following one week for each of the therapy groups.

Study Arms (3)

Group one - standard therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Standard physical therapy treatment for shoulder and hip malalignment will be administered for one week.

Behavioral: Group one - standard therapy

Group two - neuromuscular therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental neuromuscular physical therapy treatment for shoulder and hip malalignment will be administered for one week. This therapy is exercised based.

Behavioral: Group two - neuromuscular therapy

Group three - no treatment

NO INTERVENTION

No physical therapy treatment will be given to this group.

Interventions

Group one - standard therapyBEHAVIORAL

Group two - standard physical therapy treatment for shoulder and hip maladjustment.

Group one - standard therapy
Group two - neuromuscular therapyBEHAVIORAL

Use of physical therapy treatment for shoulder and hip maladjustment.

Group two - neuromuscular therapy
