Brief Summary

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

Effects of Post-Isometric Relaxation Technique versus Cross Friction Soft Tissue Mobilization in Leg Spin Bowlers with Rotator cuff strain

Detailed Description

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

The existing body of research on Pakistani Cyclists lacks comprehensive investigation into the role of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique, creating a noticeable gap in understanding the impact of such techniques on the performance, improving flexibility, and overall physical well-being of these athletes. Given the unique physical demands of Cyclists and the potential benefits associated with lower limb muscle strength, a focused exploration in this area is crucial to inform training strategies, enhance athletic performance, and contribute to the holistic development of Pakistani cyclists. To determine the comparative impact of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique on pain, flexibility, and functionality in the lower limbs of cyclists with sciatica.

Study Groups

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

post isometric relaxation

17 participants will be in post isometric group, After telling the bowler to calm down, a fresh movement barrier will be activated. This will be done three times a week for four weeks, for a total of five sets of five repetitions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

post isometric relaxation

Intervention Type OTHER

the athlete will be given instructions to perform a 7-second isometric contraction in the direction of horizontal abduction at about 25% of peak effort, while the examiner will apply an opposing force at the distal humerus.

cross friction soft tissue mobilization

17 participants will be in soft tissue mobilization group, Patients in each group will receive12 treatment sessions, 3 days a week for 4 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

cross friction soft tissue mobilization

Intervention Type OTHER

by identifying the fascia restriction, patients in group B will be treated with the cross friction soft tissue mobilization approach, which comprised applying a low load and prolonged stretch through the knuckles or elbows to the constricted fascia. The therapist will then give the contralateral side of rotation resistance for ten seconds
