About

Isolated and combined effectiveness of pragmatic protocols on shoulder range of motion had been investigated and found effective in healthy participants. To our knowledge, there was insufficient literature to support the comparison between pragmatic and traditional protocols in the treatment of shoulder pathologies.

Full description

Different physical therapy treatments are being used for shoulder pathologies which include modalities (hot pack, TENS), ROM exercises, stretching, strengthening, soft tissue mobilization and set of pragmatic manual techniques.The set of pragmatic manual therapies are novel techniques (comprises of acromioclavicular mobilization, serratus anterior stretch, thoracic manipulation, RC facilitation, and PCS) and its isolated effectiveness on ROM in healthy subjects has been investigated and found effective. These studies recommended the use of a pragmatic protocol for the prevention and rehabilitation of shoulder injuries and pathologies (unpublished data).As per our knowledge there is insufficient literature to support the comparison of the effectiveness of a set of pragmatic protocols with traditional interventions. Our research is proposed to compare the efficacy of pragmatic interventions with that of traditional interventions in patients with shoulder pathology and their effect on the quality of life.
