Comparative Effects of 3-Dimensional Articular and Soft Tissue Myofascial Release Approach in Patients With Overuse Syndrome of Wrist Joint

Обзор

Overuse syndrome or RSI is challenging condition among clinicians now a days. These are MSK disorders which are related to bones, muscles and tendons peripheral nerve entrapment and vascular changes. These MSK disorders commonly effects back, neck and upper limbs although it least effect lower limbs. These problems occur from repetitive movements, ergonomic hazards, awkward postures and work related problems. This study aims to assess the comparative effects of 3 dimensional articular myofascial release approach and soft tissue myofascial release approach in patients with overuse syndrome of wrist joint. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted age between 20-55 years, both male and female genders will be included diagnosed with overuse syndrome of wrist. Diagnosis will be made on the basis of diagnostic criteria which will include tenderness present in intrinsic muscles and pain in radial ligament of wrist. Participants will be chosen through consecutive sampling. Each participant will sign a consent form before taking part in the study. According to sample size 46 participants will be divided into two groups. Each group will include 23 participants which will be divided through lottery method. Both groups will receive baseline treatment which will include hot-pack for 15 minutes. Group a will be treated with articular fascial release and group b will be treated with soft tissue release for 3 sessions per week, for 3 weeks. After therapy session both groups will perform wrist rom exercises including wrist flexion, extension, radial and ulnar deviation 5 repetitions each. Outcome measuring tools will be numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) for pain, disabilities of arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) for functional disability, patient rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) specifically wrist functions evaluation and goniometer for range of motion. Data will be investigated through SPSS.

Вмешательства

• Процедура 3- dimensional Articular fascial release approach
  Hot pack for 15 mins.3- dimensional Articular fascial release approach
