Frozen Shoulder
Conditions
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.
Detailed description
Scapular Dyskinesia is regarded as the altered scapular kinematics, presenting with increased scapular upward rotation and eminence of the medial border in patients with shoulder injuries. Patients with frozen shoulder present with a certain degree of scapular dyskinesia. The objective of the study is 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. The study will abide by the ethical principles in line with the Declaration of Helsinki. Baseline data of the participants of pain, muscle Activation, ROM, scapular dyskinesia, muscle strength, functional limitation and participants' wellbeing will be recorded. Group A will receive the modified robbery exercises three days a week for six weeks, group B will receive the conventional physical therapy protocol three days a week for six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline, after week three, and after week six. Data will be recorded using questionnaires, proforma and the other listed outcome measurement tools. on the base of normality of the data appropriate parametric test or non-parametric test will be applied for intra and inter group comparison.
