Brief Summary

The study aims to find out the role of the modified robbery exercises in the management of scapular dyskinesia in patients with frozen shoulders. This single-blind randomized clinical study will be conducted at approved study center in Lahore Pakistan in line with the ethical principles stated in Declaration of Helsinki. Pain, muscle Activation, ROM, scapular dyskinesia, muscle strength, functional limitation and participants' wellbeing will be recorded at baseline, after week three, and after week six in both intervention and control groups.

Conditions

Frozen Shoulder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• Pain intensity

  Pain intensity will be measured using Visual Analogue Scale.

  baseline, at week 3 and at week 6

• Scapular Dyskinesia

  Score of Modified Lateral Scapular Slide Test using Vernier caliper

  baseline, at week 3 and at week 6

• Range of scapular and shoulder Motion

  Range of Motion of selected movements will be measured on Goniometer

  baseline, at week 3 and at week 6

• Muscle Strength

  Muscle Strength of selected muscles will be measured by manual muscle testing

  baseline, at week 3 and at week 6

• Muscle activation

  Muscle activation of selected muscles will be measured by Electromyography Biofeedback

  baseline, at week 3 and at week 6

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• shoulder functions

  baseline, at week 3 and at week 6

• Well-being

  baseline, at week 3 and at week 6
