About

This study will compare the effects of two exercise interventions, pendulum exercises and serratus punches, on rotator cuff pain and injury in badminton players. Using a randomized clinical trial with participants from local clubs, the research will evaluate pain levels, range of motion, and shoulder function after a set period of regular, supervised exercises. The results aim to provide evidence-based insights for effective rehabilitation programs tailored to badminton athletes, supporting better recovery and injury prevention.

Full description

Rotator cuff pain and disability is typical among badminton players because of the dull movements associated with the game. These wounds can prompt critical torment and practical limits, influencing the players' exhibition and prosperity. The focal point of this exploration project is to think about the impacts of two different activity mediations, pendulum activities and serratus punch works, on rotator sleeve agony and injury in badminton players. Understanding the similar adequacy of these activities will contribute essential knowledge to improving designated restoration programs for badminton competitors, further developing their recuperation results and forestalling future wounds.

This exploration will utilize a randomized clinical preliminary plan to research the similar impacts of pendulum activities and serratus punch practices on rotator sleeve agony and injury in badminton players. Members will be selected from neighborhood badminton clubs, and consideration measures will include people with an analyzed or self-revealed history of rotator sleeve torment. The chosen members will be arbitrarily allotted to the pendulum or the serratus punch practice bunch. The mediation time frame will traverse a predefined span, during which members will routinely participate in their doled-out practice. Result estimates will incorporate torment levels, scope of movement, and practical appraisals of the rotator sleeve. Factual examinations will be directed to consider the viability of the two activity mediations and their effect on rotator sleeve agony and injury in badminton players. The consequences of this study are to illuminate proof-based restoration systems customized explicitly for the badminton populace, adding to the enhancement of player well-being and execution.

36 participants in 2 patient groups

Pendulum Exercises

Active Comparator group

Description:

Eighteen participants will perform pendulum exercises, which involve gently swinging the arm to relax shoulder muscles and improve mobility. This low-impact exercise is intended to alleviate tension and increase circulation in the rotator cuff, making it ideal for early-stage shoulder rehabilitation.

Treatment:

Other: Pendulum Exercises

Serratus Punch Exercises

Active Comparator group

Description:

Eighteen participants will engage in serratus punch exercises, extending the arm in a controlled punching motion to strengthen the serratus anterior muscle. This exercise promotes shoulder stability and supports rotator cuff function, aiming to reduce pain and improve shoulder control.

Treatment:

Other: Serratus Punch Exercises
