Overview

This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the additional effects of mobilization with movement with upper quadrant core strengthening in rotator cuff related pain .

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of mobilization with movement with upper quadrant core strengthening in rotator cuff related shoulder pain on A. Pain B. Range of motion C. Propioception D. Kinesiophobia

Data collection procedure: Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. Recruited participants will be allocated to either of the groups through a sealed opaque envelope method.

Interventions

  • Procedure Upper Quadrant Core Strengthening protocol
    Upper Quadrant Core Strengthening protocol Core strengthening protocol will comprise of following four week protocol. 1. Week one Scapular postural correction and shoulder shrugging exercises 2. Week two External rotation at 0 degree 3. Week three Internal rotation at 0 degree 4. Week four Standing row at 45 and 90 degree , Anterior shoulder stretch and Thoracic exercise in sitting
  • Procedure Mobilization with movement
    In addition to upper quadrant core strengthening protocol participants will also perform mobilization with movement. Mobilization with movement protocol will comprise of following forms. 1. Acromioclavicular joint glides 2. Scapular glides 3. Glenohumeral joint glides ( inferior glides, postero-lateral glides, postero-inferior)

Primary outcome measures

  • Pain intensity [Time frame: 4 weeks]
  • Range of motion [Time frame: 4 weeks]
  • Proprioception [Time frame: 4 weeks]
  • Kinesiophobia [Time frame: 4 Weeks]
