NCT04859387 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: Rec-2020-F-002
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 49
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

Isolated and combined effectiveness of pragmatic protocols on shoulder range of motion had been investigated and found effective in healthy participants. To our knowledge, there was insufficient literature to support the comparison between pragmatic and traditional protocols in the treatment of shoulder pathologies.

Conditions

Shoulder Pain; Shoulder Impingement; Shoulder Injuries; Frozen Shoulder; Shoulder Capsulitis

Keywords

pragmatic intervention,; shoulder pathologies,; shoulder pain,; shoulder range of motion; pragmatic shoulder intervention,

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• shoulder Range of motion

  will be measured in degrees by digital inclinometer

  5 days

• functional movements

  will be measured in centimeters by inchi tape

  5 days

Interventions

set of pragmatic shoulder technique OTHER

Group A received pragmatic intervention which includes Pectoralis major and minor stretch, AC joint mobilization, rotator cuff facilitation for subscapularis and infraspinatus, serratus anterior stretch, thoracic manipulation and posterior capsular stretch.

group A
