Mobilization

Other

These exercises are used to increase ROM and used for pain reduction

Primary outcomes

  1. Numeric Pain Rating Scale

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain ever

  2. Range of motion

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Goniometer will be used to assess the ranges. lower values means more limited ROM and more values means normal
