1. Week One Scapular postural correction , Shoulder Shrugging exercises
2. Week Two External rotation at 0 degree
3. Week Three Internal rotation at 0 degree
4. Week Four Standing Row at 45 and 90 degree, Anterior shoulder stretch , Thoracic exercises in sitting Receives: Procedure: Upper Quadrant Core Strengthening protocol |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain intensity
Pain will be measured on Numerical Pain rating scale. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").
Measured: 4 weeks
Range of motion
A universal goniometer will be used to measure the shoulder ROM in external \& internal rotation, abduction and flexion and their normal ranges are 90, 80, 0-180, 0-180 degree respectively.
Measured: 4 weeks
Proprioception
The laser pointer method for assessing Shoulder Joint Position Sense (JPS) involves the patient using a laser pointer to target a 1 meter distanced scoreboard while performing arm movements. Patient will be asked to perform flexion, abduction and external rotation to 90 degree or alternatively to maximum possible pain free range below 90 degree. After three practice rounds with eyes open, four attempt with eye closed will be performed and shoulder range will be measured. We will measure JPSE for flexion, abduction and external rotation by using mobile app inclinometer.
Measured: 4 weeks
Kinesiophobia
The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK) is a 17-item self-report tool with a 4-point Likert scale, measuring fear of movement due to injury or pain, and somatic focus on underlying medical issues. Scores range from 17 to 68, with higher scores (≥37) indicating significant kinesiophobia and poorer health outcomes.
Measured: 4 Weeks
