About this study
Official title: Shoulder Stertching
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
Read the detailed description
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:
- Conditions
- Shoulder Impingement, Shoulder Pain, Adhesive Capsulitis, Rotator Cuff Tears, Posterior Capsule Tear, Glenohumeral Subluxation
- Being tested
- pragmatic posterior capsular stretch, cross body stretch
- Medical subject headings
- Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, Shoulder Pain, Bursitis, Rotator Cuff Injuries, Shoulder Dislocation, Sprains and Strains

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
shoulder flexion (time frame: 4 week). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
