Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A (Thrust Manipulation)
Participants will be randomly allocated to Group A which will recieve Thrust manipulation treatment in addition to standard treatment protocol. Prone thoracic extension manipulation technique will be applied from T2 - T6 to participants for 4 sessions on alternate days
Thrust Manipulation
Prone thoracic extension manipulation technique will be applied from T2 - T6 to participants of Group A (Experimental group). Intervention will be applied on alternate days with a total of 4 treatment sessions
Standard Treatment
Standard treatment protocol includes moist heat, TENS and Post isometric relaxation technique. Standard treatment will be given to both groups on every session. Standard treatment consists of:
Superficial Moist Heat (Device): Superficial moist heat will me applied for 10 minutes on Upper Trapezius TENS (Device): TENS will be applied for 10 minutes at 80-100Hz, the electrodes will be placed at upper trapezius.
Post-isometric Relaxation (procedure/surgery): 5-10 repetions of Post Isometric relaxation technique will be applied on various muscle groups which include Upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid and scalenes.
Group B (Non-Thrust Manipulation)
Participants will be randomly allocated to group B which, in addition to standard treatment protocol, will recieve Maitland grade III or IV manipulation from T1 to T6. Posterior to anterior glide over spinous process will be maintained for 30 seconds. Participants will recieve 4 sessions on alternate days
Non-Thrust manipulation
Maitland grade III or IV thoracic 0manipulation will be given to participants of Control group from T1 to T6. Posterior to anterior glide over spinous process will be maintained for 30 seconds. Intervention will be applied on alternate days with a total of 4 treatment sessions
Standard Treatment
Standard treatment protocol includes moist heat, TENS and Post isometric relaxation technique. Standard treatment will be given to both groups on every session. Standard treatment consists of:
Superficial Moist Heat (Device): Superficial moist heat will me applied for 10 minutes on Upper Trapezius TENS (Device): TENS will be applied for 10 minutes at 80-100Hz, the electrodes will be placed at upper trapezius.
Post-isometric Relaxation (procedure/surgery): 5-10 repetions of Post Isometric relaxation technique will be applied on various muscle groups which include Upper trapezius, levator scapulae, sternocleidomastoid and scalenes.
