Study aim
-
To compare Muscle Energy Technique and Fascial Distortion Model in patients with
shoulder joint limited mobility.
-
Design
-
Pragmatic, Parallel group, Double blind, Randomized controlled trial (RCT),
-
Settings and conduct
-
Saba Physical Therapy, Rehabilitation and sports injury clinic Lahore.
Participants and outcome assessor will be blinded by the researcher.
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
INCLUSION CRITERIA
Pain and functional limitations of shoulder joint in 20-60 years old
patients.
Limited mobility/Hypo mobility of shoulder joint in Flexion, extension,
abduction, Horizontal adduction, external and internal rotation.
Unremarkable medical history and no clinical or radiological findings that
could explain the decrease in shoulder motion
Willing to involve in study
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Upper or lower motor neuron disease
Any pathological and traumatic conditions, Fractures and Dislocation
Already received few sessions of Manual Therapy treatment
Taking corticosteroids, analgesic or anti-inflammatory drugs.
-
Intervention groups
-
Group A:
Subjects in Group A will received METs (Post isometric relaxation) towards the limited ROM of arm, find the first resistive barrier hold the position and apply the technique and find new barrier. Repeat this for 6-10 times and give three treatment sessions per week for two weeks.
Group B:
Subjects of group B will receive the techniques of Fascial distortion model according
to the body language of the patient(Trigger bands, Continuum Distortion, cylinder Distortion,13
Herniated Trigger Point, Folding Distortions and Tectonic Fixation) in comfortable position
for patient. Give three treatment sessions per week for two weeks.

Main outcome variables
