Effects Of Isometric Muscle Training On Shoulder Pain, Function And Performance In Bowlers

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Shoulder Pain

• Registration Number: NCT06426875
• Lead Sponsor: Riphah International University

Brief Summary

Goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Isometric muscle training decrease pain improve function and enhance performance.

Does Isometric exercise improve pain function and performance in bowlers? Researcher will compare the Isometric muscle training with Traditional therapy to examine that isometric exercise work on pain function and performance.

Participants will receive isometric exercises for three days in week and will be followed up after two weeks total four weeks of trial(experimental group).

Participants will receive traditional physical therapy treatment three days of week and followed up after two weeks total four weeks of trail (contril group)

Detailed Description

This research is critical for addressing a common health concern and providing evidence-based recommendations for a potentially effective and accessible intervention that can significantly enhance the quality of life and performance of individuals dealing with shoulder pain. Thesis will benefit the bowlers by increasing their performance by enhancing accuracy, speed and consistency and over all shoulder health. Because shoulder discomfort is so common and has such a detrimental influence on everyday activities and performance, research on how isometric muscle training affects shoulder pain, function, and performance is crucial. In a variety of settings, isometric training has demonstrated promise in enhancing musculoskeletal function and pain management; however, its precise influence on shoulder-related problems is yet unknown.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Disability of Arm Hand and Shoulder (DASH)	4th weeks	The DASH questionnaire consists of 30 questions concerning upper limb function and symptoms. Patients figure out their ability to carry out each activity or the degree of their symptoms on a scale from 1 (no difficulty or no symptoms) to 5 (unable to perform the activity or vigorous symptoms). The results are then transformed into a standardized score, ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more disabilities

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual Analogue Scale VAS	4th week	A VAS consists of a line, usually 10 cm long, with language anchors at each end, similar to an NRS (e.g., "no pain" on the far left and "the most intense pain imaginable" on the far right)
Bowling Speed Test	4th week	Bowling speed test: A bowling speed app is a mobile application made to measure and analyze the speed of a thrown cricket ball
Manual Muscle Testing	4th week	It is used to assess weakness and also useful in identifying actual weakness from imbalance or inadequate endurance. It may be referred to as motor testing, muscular strength grading, manual muscle testing, or any other synonym
Bowling Accuracy Test	4th week	(Cones, Target Set, Wicket to Wicket Bowling, and Video Analysis).
