Summary

The purpose of this study is to find the effects of Mobilization and Muscle energy technique in patients with post-traumatic elbow stiffness.

Conditions

  • Elbow Fracture

Interventions

OTHER

Mobilization

Hot pack for ten minutes. Active and active-assisted exercises for the: * Elbow flexion and extension * Wrist flexion and extension * Forearm supination and pronation * Lock and key exercises. * Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation (10 repetitions x 1sets) Low-intensity isometric resistance exercises for; * Elbow flexion and extension * Forearm supination and pronation (10 sec hold) (10 repetitions x 1 set) Resistance will be provided manually by the therapist. Along all these exercises Mobilisations are performed with minimum 6 seconds distraction stretch followed by partial release then followed by slow intermittent stretch at 3-4 seconds intervals. 3 days per week for 3 weeks. Oscillations for 2 minutes at 2-3 oscillations per second.

Muscle Energy Technique

Hot pack for ten minutes. Active and active-assisted exercises for the: * Elbow flexion and extension * Wrist flexion and extension * Forearm supination and pronation * Lock and key exercises. * Shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation (10 repetitions x 1sets) Low-intensity isometric resistance exercises for; * Elbow flexion and extension * Forearm supination and pronation (10 sec hold) (10 repetitions x 1 set) Resistance will be provided manually by the therapist. Along all these exercises Muscle Energy Technique is given in the form of post isometric relaxation with 5-7 sec hold for 8-10 repetitions followed by a gentle passive stretch. Only 20% resistance is offered to the isometric contraction. 3 days per week for 3 weeks.
