Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Post Facilitation Stretch Group
Treatment protocol given to both groups will be carried out for 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks.
It will comprise of hot pack for 10 minutes, Tens for 10 minutes. Participants will be instructed to maintain the contraction for 6 to 10 seconds and then relax the muscles as quickly as possible.The stretch will be held for 15 seconds in an attempt to lengthen the shortened facscial structures.The muscles which will be targeted are Levator Scapular Upper Trapezius Sternocleidomastoid scalene Pectoralis Muscles
Electrotherapy and physical agents
It will comprise of hot pack for 10 minutes, Tens for 10 minutes.
Post Facilitation Stretch
Participants will be instructed to maintain the contraction for 6 to 10 seconds and then relax the muscles as quickly as possible.The stretch will be held for 15 seconds in an attempt to lengthen the shortened facscial structures.The muscles which will be targeted are Levator Scapular Upper Trapezius Sternocleidomastoid scalene Pectoralis Muscles
Stabilization Exercises along with the PFS Group
It will comprise of hot pack for 10 minutes, Tens for 10 minutes. Participants will be instructed to maintain the contraction for 6 to 10 seconds and then relax the muscles as quickly as possible.The stretch will be held for 15 seconds in an attempt to lengthen the shortened facscial structures.The muscles which will be targeted are Levator Scapular Upper Trapezius Sternocleidomastoid scalene Pectoralis Muscles Scapular Stabilization exercises protocol will be carried out in 4 weeks , 3 sessions per week. Scapular wall slide exercise will be carried out with body weight .Scapular retraction with body weight. Wall Ball Circle exercise with body weight for the first two weeks and then with dumbbells for the next two weeks. Scapular Squeeze again with the body weight and dumbbells. Wall press ups will be performed. Post Facilitation stretch of the targeted muscles also will be carried out during the sessions
