28 participants in 2 patient groups

Group 1(Trunk Extensor Endurance Training)

Experimental group

Description:

Trunk Extensor Endurance Training Level 1: Prone shoulder extension or prone shoulder raises Level 2: Prone back extension Level 3: Prone Ys or Y raises Level 4:Superman pose Level 5:Superman or prone cobra (The given position should be hold for 10 seconds and performs 25 repetitions with 3 sec rests in between the efforts)

Treatment:

Other: Trunk Extensor Endurance training & Scapular mobilization

Group 2(Scapular Mobilization)

Experimental group

Description:

Patient side lying. This intervention program includes, supero-inferior, medio-lateral along with circumduction movements. Procedure: Patients were side lying with their arms in 90°flexion during scapula mobilization. The physiotherapist completed 3 sets of 10-15 repetitions of each of the supero-inferior, medio-lateral, and circumduction movements while holding the scapula from the medial border. Between each session, there was a 10 or 30-second break. The length of rests was adjusted depending on the patient's endurance and comfort.

Treatment:

Other: Trunk Extensor Endurance training & Scapular mobilization
