Brief Summary

Effects of Post-Isometric Relaxation Technique versus Cross Friction Soft Tissue Mobilization in Leg Spin Bowlers with Rotator cuff strain

Detailed Description

The existing body of research on Pakistani Cyclists lacks comprehensive investigation into the role of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique, creating a noticeable gap in understanding the impact of such techniques on the performance, improving flexibility, and overall physical well-being of these athletes. Given the unique physical demands of Cyclists and the potential benefits associated with lower limb muscle strength, a focused exploration in this area is crucial to inform training strategies, enhance athletic performance, and contribute to the holistic development of Pakistani cyclists. To determine the comparative impact of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique on pain, flexibility, and functionality in the lower limbs of cyclists with sciatica.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Standard test for push-up (STPU) for measuring endurance	4weeks	Standard push-up test (STPU)" starts from either a prone position or a straight arm support position. Arms are about shoulder-width apart, palms are flat on the ground, and fingers are pointing forward. Legs should be together, ankles flexed, and knees locked. The only parts of the body that touch the ground are the balls of the feet and the palms of the hands. Until the chin, nose, or chest reaches the ground, the body is lowered.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS):	4weeks	The patient's degree of pain is measured using the 11-point NPRS. The words "no pain" on the left and "worst imaginable pain" on the right serve as the scale's anchors. (34) Patients score how much pain they are in right now, as well as how much pain they have had in the past 24 hours.
Goniometer	4weeks	Studies have shown intra-rater reliability for goniometric measurements can vary but often falls within acceptable ranges. For instance, a study reported intra-rater reliability with an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) ranging from 0.80 to 0.95, indicating good to excellent reliability.
