Detailed Description

After registering participant's randomization will be done through sealed envelope method and will be allocated in both groups equally. Group 1 will receive passive static stretching while group 2 will receive active static stretching. All subjects will be assessed before the intervention through likert muscle soreness scale, Numeric Rating Pain Scale and range of motion for Shoulder, elbow, and wrist by a Goniometer. After that all subjects will perform eccentric exhaust weight exercises in the gym of all mentioned joints, three sets at each joint. Before giving the intervention they will assess of all mentioned parameters. Group 1 groups will perform passive static stretching and group 2 will perform active static stretching. At the end of the intervention participants will be assessed again using the same parameters. Statistical analysis will be carried out to compare the outcomes measures of both groups.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Passive static stretching exercise
Group 1 will receive passive static stretching. All subjects will be assessed before the intervention through likert muscle soreness scale, Numeric Rating Pain Scale and range of motion for Shoulder, elbow, and wrist by a Goniometer. After that all subjects will perform eccentric exhaust weight exercises in the gym of all mentioned joints, three sets at each joint. Before giving the intervention they will assess of all mentioned parameters.
Other: Active and passive static stretching exercises
Different group of muscles will be stretched one by one, tricep brachii, bicep brachii, wrist exentsor etc
Experimental: Active static stretching
Group 2 will receive active static stretching. All subjects will be assessed before the intervention through likert muscle soreness scale, Numeric Rating Pain Scale and range of motion for Shoulder, elbow, and wrist by a Goniometer. After that all subjects will perform eccentric exhaust weight exercises in the gym of all mentioned joints, three sets at each joint. Before giving the intervention they will assess of all mentioned parameters.
Other: Active and passive static stretching exercises
Different group of muscles will be stretched one by one, tricep brachii, bicep brachii, wrist exentsor etc

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numerical Pain Rating Scale
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Assesses the subjective intensity of pain; ages 18 and above
8 weeks
Goniometer
Time Frame: 8 weeks

A goniometer is an instrument which measures the available range of motion at a joint.

Range of measurements flexion extension, abduction adduction, internal and external rotation, elbow flexion and extension wrist flexion and extension and radial and ulner deviation
8 weeks
Likert muscle Soreness Scale
Time Frame: 8 weeks

Scale Description 0 An absence of soreness

  1. A light pain felt only when touched / a vague ache
  2. A moderate pain felt only when touched / a slight persistent pain
  3. A light pain when walking up or down stairs
  4. A light pain when walking on a flat surface / painful
  5. A moderate pain, stiffness or weakness when walking / very painful
  6. A severe pain that limits my ability to move
