Detailed Description
Background: Posterior capsular tightness (PCT) is frequently seen in shoulders in athletic population and shoulder disoders. PCT leads to variation in scapular and humeral kinematics. Two techniques considered in our study for regaining normal range of motion at shoulder joint and improving PCT, one is the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch (PPCS) & the other one is cross body stretch (CBS) Objective: The aim of our study id to compare the short term/intermediate term effect of PPCS and CBS on range of motion on shoulder joint in healthy individuals. And to evaluate the feedback of subjects regarding both the interventions.
Methodology: Sixty a symtomatic shoulder of 30 subjects (15 males, 15 females) were recruited for this restricted randomised control trials. A simple random sampling technique was used. Subjects were screen through a functional movement screening tool of shoulder mobility. The change in hand behind neck and hand behind back will be measured through measuring tape. Shoulder ROM and functional movements for both the stretches will be campared. Particpants will be follwed for 4 weeks for the change in their shoulder range of motion.
