NCT ID: NCT06426875

Last Updated: 2024-10-24

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: RECRUITING
• Clinical Phase: NA
• Total Enrollment: 36 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2024-05-19
• Study Completion Date: 2024-11-20

Brief Summary

Goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Isometric muscle training decrease pain improve function and enhance performance.

Does Isometric exercise improve pain function and performance in bowlers? Researcher will compare the Isometric muscle training with Traditional therapy to examine that isometric exercise work on pain function and performance.

Participants will receive isometric exercises for three days in week and will be followed up after two weeks total four weeks of trial(experimental group).

Participants will receive traditional physical therapy treatment three days of week and followed up after two weeks total four weeks of trail (contril group)

Detailed Description

This research is critical for addressing a common health concern and providing evidence-based recommendations for a potentially effective and accessible intervention that can significantly enhance the quality of life and performance of individuals dealing with shoulder pain. Thesis will benefit the bowlers by increasing their performance by enhancing accuracy, speed and consistency and over all shoulder health. Because shoulder discomfort is so common and has such a detrimental influence on everyday activities and performance, research on how isometric muscle training affects shoulder pain, function, and performance is crucial. In a variety of settings, isometric training has demonstrated promise in enhancing musculoskeletal function and pain management; however, its precise influence on shoulder-related problems is yet unknown.

Effects Of Isometric Muscle Training On Shoulder Pain, Function And Performance In Bowlers

The Isometric Exercise Program which comprises targeted exercises for declining pain, improving function and performance, exercises were focused only on shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation. Exercises were performed via Thera Bands, free weights and resistance. Each repetition was of 10 to 15 seconds and 10 to 15 number of repetition total of three sets according to FITT formula. Under the supervision of a therapist, these exercises were performed three times each week. Every training session lasts 35 to 40 minutes, with a 5-minute warm-up and a 5-minute cool-down in between. Instruction in the correct form and technique was provided to participants throughout the intervention, and their development was closely evaluated to guarantee safety and effectiveness. Total duration of 35 to 40-minute session three sessions per week total four weeks of intervention, reading will be taken on baseline and after 2nd week and 4th week.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Isometric Exercises

Intervention Type: DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Isometric External Rotation (Perform isometric external rotation exercises with a resistance band to strengthen the rotator cuff.) Hold each contraction for 10-15 seconds. Isometric Internal Rotation (Hold each contraction for 10-15 seconds) Isometric Abduction (Supraspinatus). ( each contraction for 10 -15 sec) 10 repetition 3 sets Isometric Adduction (Subscapularis) Overhead Isometric Holds (Hold each contraction for 15-20 seconds) Isometric Shoulder External Rotation Against Resistance: (Hold each contraction for 15-20 seconds) Isometric Shoulder Press (Hold each contraction for 15-20 seconds) 15 to 20 repetitions 4 sets Total duration of 30 to 35 minute session three sessions per week total four weeks of intervention, reading will be taken on baseline and after 2nd week and 4th week
