Brief Summary

Effects of Post-Isometric Relaxation Technique versus Cross Friction Soft Tissue Mobilization in Leg Spin Bowlers with Rotator cuff strain

Conditions

Sports Physical Therapy

Keywords

cross friction soft tissue mobilization, spin bowlers

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS):

  The patient's degree of pain is measured using the 11-point NPRS. The words "no pain" on the left and "worst imaginable pain" on the right serve as the scale's anchors. (34) Patients score how much pain they are in right now, as well as how much pain they have had in the past 24 hours.

  4weeks

• Goniometer

  Studies have shown intra-rater reliability for goniometric measurements can vary but often falls within acceptable ranges. For instance, a study reported intra-rater reliability with an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) ranging from 0.80 to 0.95, indicating good to excellent reliability.

  4weeks

• Standard test for push-up (STPU) for measuring endurance

  Standard push-up test (STPU)" starts from either a prone position or a straight arm support position. Arms are about shoulder-width apart, palms are flat on the ground, and fingers are pointing forward. Legs should be together, ankles flexed, and knees locked. The only parts of the body that touch the ground are the balls of the feet and the palms of the hands. Until the chin, nose, or chest reaches the ground, the body is lowered.

Study Arms (2)

post isometric relaxation

EXPERIMENTAL

17 participants will be in post isometric group, After telling the bowler to calm down, a fresh movement barrier will be activated. This will be done three times a week for four weeks, for a total of five sets of five repetitions.

Other: post isometric relaxation

cross friction soft tissue mobilization

EXPERIMENTAL

17 participants will be in soft tissue mobilization group, Patients in each group will receive12 treatment sessions, 3 days a week for 4 weeks.

Other: cross friction soft tissue mobilization

Interventions

post isometric relaxation OTHER

the athlete will be given instructions to perform a 7-second isometric contraction in the direction of horizontal abduction at about 25% of peak effort, while the examiner will apply an opposing force at the distal humerus.

post isometric relaxation

cross friction soft tissue mobilization OTHER

by identifying the fascia restriction, patients in group B will be treated with the cross friction soft tissue mobilization approach, which comprised applying a low load and prolonged stretch through the knuckles or elbows to the constricted fascia. The therapist will then give the contralateral side of rotation resistance for ten seconds
