Full description

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Multan institute of cardiology, Multan. Non probability convenient sampling technique will be applied on--patients who will be allocated through simple random sampling into group A & group B to collect data. Group A will be given upper extremity aerobic training and group B will be given upper extremity resistance training. The study will be completed within the time duration of ten months. Primary Outcome measures of the research will be pain, range of motion, and quality of life. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.
