Effects of Propioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique on Shoulder Pain in Paraplegic Manual Wheel Chair Users After Spinal Cord Injury
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Rhythmic stabilization exercises and conventional treatment for Shoulder Impingement. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Shoulder Pain due to chronic impingement syndrome in paraplegic Manual Wheelchair users after Spinal Cord Injury so that we can have best treatment option for patients with shoulder pain due to manual wheelchair usage. duration was of 6months,convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Spine welfare trust center, Nawaz Sharif social security Hospital were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with PNF exercises , Group B participants were given baseline treatment upto 6 weeks and 3 sessions per, post intervention assessment was done after 6 weeks, by self-generated questionnaire (WUSPI) wheel chair users shoulder pain index, (SRQ) Shoulder rating questionnaire and physical assessment by 2 special test was done, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.

Timeline
Interventions
PNF techniques and Conventional Treatment: Experimental group received rhythmical Stabilization Technique on shoulder joint on all shoulder movements up to 1 minute in supine position For stability of joint ,re-establish dynamic rotator cuff stability and to enhance MS strength and decrease pain. Conventional Treatment: heating pad for 15 minutes, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and after that shoulder stretching of upper trapezius muscle, pectorals and levator scapule and isometric exercises of rotator cuff muscles performed in supine .( 10 sec hold and 10 to 15 reps)..
