Background:<\/strong> It is postulated that restriction in glenohumeral external rotation when measured at 45 degree of abduction represent subscapularis muscle\u00a0 flexibility deficits as compared to when it is measured at 90 degrees of abduction which indicates capsular restriction. Adequate glenohumeral external rotation is believed to be essential for the ability to reach overhead . Patients coming to physiotherapy department with shoulder pathology often have to attend various sessions of therapy to get free range of motion of the joint. Thus the aim of this study was to find out whether a single session of soft tissue mobilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular fascilitation improves the range of shoulder abduction and thus the ability to reach overhead.<\/p>\n

Materials and Methods: Present study conducted with <\/strong>20 subjects between the age group of 40 and 60 as per the inclusion and exclusion criterion and study designed as a Randomized control trail. All those individuals who exhibited limitation in glenohumeral external rotation at 45 degrees of abduction in supine were supposed to have shoulder internal\u00a0 rotator (subscapularis) inflexibility and those who had restriction in overhead reach were included\u00a0 in the study. All included subjects were given soft tissue mobilization\u00a0 to the restricted mobility area for 5 minutes followed by 5 repetitions of contract relax to shoulder internal rotators and 5 repetitions of proprioceptive neuromuscular fascilitation\u00a0 pattern of flexion abduction external rotation. External rotation and overhead reach was measured pre and Immediately post intervention .<\/p>\n

Result:<\/strong> SPSS v 16.0 was used for analysis. Descriptive & inferential statistics was calculated. \u00a0Paired t test was used to compare External Rotation & Overhead Reach before & after treatment. Statistical significance was kept at p value less than 0.05. The results obtained in the study, showed\u00a0 \u2018p value\u2019< 0.05 , indicating that there was statistically significant improvement in external rotation and overhead reach following the single intervention session.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong> A single session of soft tissue mobilization with proprioceptive neuromuscular fascilitation showed immediate improvement in glenohumeral external rotation and overhead reach.<\/p>\n
