Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to find the effects of Mobilization and Muscle energy technique in patients with post-traumatic elbow stiffness.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A randomized control trial was conducted at Benazir Bhutto Hospital, Rawalpindi. The sample size with reference to parent article was 10 calculated through open epi tool. But 30 patients were included in the study to increase the statistical power of analysis. The participants were divided into two interventional groups i.e. Group A and Group B, each having 15 participants. The study duration was 1 year. Sampling Technique applied was non probability purposive sampling technique. Random Allocation will be through sealed envelope method into two treatment group i.e. Group A and Group B. Only 18-35 years old patients (both male and female) with Post-traumatic elbow stiffness were included in the study. Tools that were used in the study are NPRS, DASH questionnaire, TAMPA scale and Goniometer. Total duration of treatment for both groups was 3 weeks, 3 days a week. Pre and post assessment was done. Data was analyzed through SPSS version 23.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Mobilization

Mobilizations are performed with minimum 6 seconds distraction stretch followed by partial release then followed by slow intermittent stretch at 3-4 seconds intervals.

Oscillations for 2 minutes at 2-3 oscillations per second.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Hot pack for ten minutes.

Active and active-assisted exercises for the:

* Elbow flexion and extension
* Wrist flexion and extension
* Forearm supination and pronation
* Lock and key exercises.
* Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation (10 repetitions x 1sets) Low-intensity isometric resistance exercises for;
* Elbow flexion and extension
* Forearm supination and pronation (10 sec hold) (10 repetitions x 1 set) Resistance will be provided manually by the therapist. Along all these exercises Mobilisations are performed with minimum 6 seconds distraction stretch followed by partial release then followed by slow intermittent stretch at 3-4 seconds intervals.

3 days per week for 3 weeks. Oscillations for 2 minutes at 2-3 oscillations per second.

Muscle Energy Technique

Muscle Energy Technique is given in the form of post isometric relaxation with 5-7 sec hold for 8-10 repetitions followed by a gentle passive stretch. Only 20% resistance is offered to the isometric contraction.
