Pragmatic Posterior Capsular Stretch

Overview

Various stretches are used to lengthen the posterior shoulder capsule. No study has reported the comparison of the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and cross body stertch

Background: Posterior capsular tightness (PCT) is a problem frequently seen in shoulder disorder. PCT leads to variation in scapular and humeral kinematics. Two techniques considered in our study for regaining normal range of motion at shoulder joint and improving PCT, one is the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch (PPCS) \& the other one is cross body stretch (CBS) Objective: The aim of our study id to compare the short term effect of PPCS versus CBS on range of motion on shoulder joint in healthy individuals. And to evaluate the feedback of subjects regarding both the interventions. Methodology: Through RCT 30 asymptomatic subjects (15 males, 15 females) . A simple random sampling technique was used. Subjects were screen through a functional movement screening tool. The change in hand behind neck and hand behind back will be measured through measuring tape. Shoulder ROM and functional movements for both the stretches will be campared Results:
