Comparative Effects of Mulligan Mobilization With and Without Myofascial Release Technique in Management of Post Traumatic Elbow Stiffness
keskiviikko 13. toukokuuta 2026 päivittänyt: Maryam Safdar, University of Faisalabad
The Randomize Clinical Trial will involve 30 participants with post traumatic elbow stiffness recruited from Madinah Teaching Hospital and Chiniot General hospital Faisalabad.
Consecutive sampling technique will be used.
Study will include individuals with >30° extension loss and <120° flexion, 50° in both directions for pronation-supination, who are 3-6 weeks post-POP removal from radiograph confirmation of skeletal/bone healing will be insured, who have elbow pain from 3 to 5/10 on NPRS and have fully healed fractures.
Both intra-articular and extra-articular injuries will be accepted.
DASH Score with 45 to 50 points.
Study will exclude pathological or acute fractures, burns, brain trauma, neurological or psychological disorders, history of pre-operative osteoarthritis.
Consent will be taken written and verbal from participants before including into study.
Patients will be allocated with online randomization generator method into 2 groups.
Group A will receive Mulligan Mobilization with Myofascial release technique, while Group B will receive Mulligan Mobilization alone.
Hot pack for 20 minutes before treatment and static stretching after treatment will apply in both groups.
Each stretch is performed 10 repetition with hold duration of 30 sec and rest period 15 sec between each stretch.
Total 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks (12 sessions) on alternative days will be given.
Outcome of study will be elbow pain, elbow range of motion (flexion and extension) and functional disability will be measure by using Numerical Pain Rating Scale, Universal Goniometer and Dash Questionnaire Score respectively.
Data will be investigated by using SPSS version 2023.

Kokeellinen: Group A (Mulligan Mobilization with Myofascial Release Technique)
Participants in Group A will receive a structured treatment program including Mulligan mobilization along with myofascial release techniques aimed at reducing pain, improving functional disability, and enhancing elbow range of motion.
Each session will last 40-45 minutes and will be administered three times per week for four weeks.
|
The patient will be positioned supine at the edge of the table with the shoulder abducted to 90°, elbow flexed, and forearm supinated.
The therapist will stabilize the distal humerus and use a belt around the pelvis while applying a sustained glide through the forearm.
Active elbow flexion/extension will be performed with gentle, pain-free overpressure at end range.
The technique will be repeated 6-10 times for 1-3 sets with 15-second rest intervals.
Myofascial release will be applied with the patient supine, elbow slightly flexed and forearm pronated.
The therapist will treat from lateral epicondyle to wrist extensors while the patient performs small elbow movements.
Both groups will receive a hot pack application for 20 minutes as a baseline treatment prior to the intervention, followed by static stretching after the session.
Each stretch will be performed for 10 repetitions, with a 30-second hold and a 15-second rest interval between stretches.
|
|
Active Comparator: Group B (Mulligan Mobilization alone)
Participants in Group B will be treated with Mulligan Mobilization alone to help reduce pain and improve elbow range of motion.
The intervention will be delivered in 40-45 minute sessions, three times per week, for four consecutive weeks.

The Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is an 11-point scale used to assess pain intensity.
The scale ranges from 0, indicating no pain, to 10, representing the worst imaginable pain.
It is considered a reliable and valid tool for evaluating changes in pain severity over time

Aikaikkuna: Baseline and Week 4

The DASH questionnaire is designed to evaluate upper limb function and related symptoms.
It assesses the level of difficulty an individual experiences while performing daily activities involving the arm, shoulder, and hand due to pain, weakness, or movement limitations.
The questionnaire contains 30 items, and scores range from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum disability), with higher scores indicating greater functional impairment
