RECRUITINGchange 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
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
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
