Effect of Cervical Mobilization on Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

• Registration Number: NCT04703660
• Lead Sponsor: Noha Elserty

Brief Summary

this study aimed to investigate the effect of 3 types of cervical mobilization on the strength of shoulder abductors, external rotators and pain level in patient with rotator cuff tendinitis. the measurement will be made immediately, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after mobilization

Detailed Description

subjects will be allocated according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria from outpatient clinic at El sahel teaching hospital. they will be assigned randomly into 3 groups, each group will receive certain type of cervical mobilization. the outcome measures will be measured before, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after treatment

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
change in strength of shoulder abductors	before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization	strength testing with a hand-held dynamometer will be applied for 3 groups using Isometric contraction of shoulder abductors
change in strength of shoulder external rotators	before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization	strength testing with a hand-held dynamometer will be applied for 3 groups using Isometric contraction of shoulder external rotators
change in pain level	before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization	pain severity will be measured using visual analogue scale for 3 groups
