Effects Of Isometric Muscle Training On Shoulder Pain, Function And Performance In Bowlers
- Conditions
- Shoulder Pain
- Interventions
- Diagnostic Test: Isometric Exercises
- 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.

Group Intervention Description Effects Of Isometric Muscle Training On Shoulder Pain, Function And Performance In Bowlers Isometric Exercises The Isometric Exercise Program which comprises targeted exercises for declining pain, improving function and performance, exercises were focused only on shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation. Exercises were performed via Thera Bands, free weights and resistance. Each repetition was of 10 to 15 seconds and 10 to 15 number of repetition total of three sets according to FITT formula. Under the supervision of a therapist, these exercises were performed three times each week. Every training session lasts 35 to 40 minutes, with a 5-minute warm-up and a 5-minute cool-down in between. Instruction in the correct form and technique was provided to participants throughout the intervention, and their development was closely evaluated to guarantee safety and effectiveness. Total duration of 35 to 40-minute session three sessions per week total four weeks of intervention, reading will be taken on baseline and after 2nd week and 4th week.
- 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).
