NCT06240819

Brief Summary

The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A \& B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive sleeper stretch in a side lying position. Group B will receive cross-body stretch will be done in sitting position

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Shoulder Pain

    Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be used to assess pain.

    pre and 6 weeks post interventional

  • Range of motion

    A universal goniometer will be used to measure ROM

    pre and 6 weeks post interventional

  • Functional Performance

    upper extremity functional index (UEFI) scale to assess functional performance

    pre and 6 weeks post interventional

Study Arms (2)

Sleeper Stretch

OTHER

Sleeper stretch in a side lying position in 90o abduction, elbow at 90o flexion and then performing shoulder IR for three sets with three repetitions.

Other: Sleeper Stretch

Cross Body Stretch

OTHER

cross-body stretch will be done in sitting position. Three sets of the each stretch position would be held for 30 seconds with a 1 minute break between sets.

Other: Cross Body Stretch

Interventions

They will receive three sessions a week for four weeks. In a session three sets with three repetitions of sleeper stretch in a side lying position

Sleeper Stretch
