Effect of Cervical Mobilization on Rotator Cuff Tendinitis

Immediate and Carry Over Effect of Different Cervical Mobilization Techniques on Rotator Cuff Tendinitis Patients

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

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Tendinitis
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: cervical 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

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

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