Abstract:

Background: The elbow, intermediate joint of the upper limb, frequently undergoes pathological events and is especially prone to stiffness. Patients lose his capacity to conduct the compensatory movements which may result in intolerance. Fracture and dislocations are commonly seen in the individuals. Careful evaluation is must before treatment. Physical therapy plays an important role in recovering functional activities. Methods/Design: The study will be designed as a Randomized Control Trial. Total 20 participants will be selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria from AVBRH and RNPC OPD, Sawangi (Meghe). Duration of the study will be 6 months. 20 subjects will be grouped into two out of which 1 group of participants will receive Stretching (static stretching) and group 2 will receive Muscle energy technique (Post isometric relaxation). Visual Analogue Scale for Pain and Assessment of Range of Motion using Universal Goniometer will be the outcome measures for the patient. Result: Outcome measures of the patient using muscle energy technique can have more effectiveness as compared to stretching. It may help to regain muscle strength and the patient will be able to perform the compensatory movement in adjacent joints. Conclusion: Will be published after the results are analyzed..
