Comparison of Theraband, Co-contraction and Isometric Exercises in Patients With Chronic Frozen Shoulder
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Theraband exercises, Co-contraction exercises, and 1 other intervention for Frozen Shoulder. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of in patients with chronic frozen shoulder theraband, isometric and co-contraction exercises so that we can have best treatment option for patients with chronic frozen shoulder. upper cross syndrome, duration was of 6months,convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from DHQ hospital Sheikhupura, were randomly allocated in three groups via lottery method, baseline assessment was done, Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with theraband exercises , Group B participants were given baseline treatment along with co-contraction exercises and Group C were given baseline treatment along with isometric exercises on 3rd and 6th week, post intervention assessment was done via, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS),Shoulder Pain And Disability Index (SPADI) and goniometric measurements of shoulder ranges ,3 sessions per week were given, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 26.

Timeline
Interventions
Group A performed theraband exercises for 6 weeks.In the first 2 weeks theraband with low resistance was used to perform exercises and then we proceeded gradually with higher resistance therabands.Theraband exercises was performed for Shoulder Flexion,Shoulder Extension Strengthening, Shoulder Internal Rotation Strengthening, Shoulder External Rotation Strengthening, Shoulder Abduction, Empty Can Exercise \& Rowing Exercise with 8-10 reps, 3sec hold and 2-3 sets With each of these exercises
Muscle co-contraction is the simultaneous contraction of the muscles acting around a joint. Subject stood upright \& contracted both the groups (agonist and antagonist) simultaneously without bringing movement at shoulder joint with 6-8 reps , 3sets \& 5- 15 seconds duration of sustained self-arm bracing or stiffening was maintained. On eligible participants baseline assessment was done,3 session were given 3days per week, post intervention assessment was taken at 3rd and 6th week
Isometric exercises of shoulder were performed in subjects for 6 weeks which included isometric Shoulder flexion, shoulder abduction isometric exercise, isometric shoulder external rotation, isometric shoulder internal rotation \& isometric shoulder extension with 8-10 reps, 5 sec hold and 2 sets. On eligible participants baseline assessment was done,3 session were given 3days per week, post intervention assessment was taken at 3rd and 6th week
