Study summary

this study aimed to investigate the effect of 3 types of cervical mobilization on the strength of shoulder abductors, external rotators and pain level in patient with rotator cuff tendinitis. the measurement will be made immediately, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after mobilization

Read the detailed description

subjects will be allocated according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria from outpatient clinic at El sahel teaching hospital. they will be assigned randomly into 3 groups, each group will receive certain type of cervical mobilization. the outcome measures will be measured before, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after treatment

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. change in strength of shoulder abductors

    strength testing with a hand-held dynamometer will be applied for 3 groups using Isometric contraction of shoulder abductors

    Time frame: before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization

  2. change in strength of shoulder external rotators

    strength testing with a hand-held dynamometer will be applied for 3 groups using Isometric contraction of shoulder external rotators

    Time frame: before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization

  3. change in pain level

    pain severity will be measured using visual analogue scale for 3 groups

    Time frame: before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization
