Comparative Effects of Mulligan Mobilization With and Without Myofascial Release Technique in Management of Post Traumatic Elbow Stiffness

The Randomize Clinical Trial will involve 30 participants with post traumatic elbow stiffness recruited from Madinah Teaching Hospital and Chiniot General hospital Faisalabad. Consecutive sampling technique will be used. Study will include individuals with \>30° extension loss and \<120° flexion, 50° in both directions for pronation-supination, who are 3-6 weeks post-POP removal from radiograph confirmation of skeletal/bone healing will be insured, who have elbow pain from 3 to 5/10 on NPRS and have fully healed fractures. Both intra-articular and extra-articular injuries will be accepted. DASH Score with 45 to 50 points. Study will exclude pathological or acute fractures, burns, brain trauma, neurological or psychological disorders, history of pre-operative osteoarthritis. Consent will be taken written and verbal from participants before including into study. Patients will be allocated with online randomization generator method into 2 groups. Group A will receive Mulligan Mobilization with Myofascial release technique, while Group B will receive Mulligan Mobilization alone. Hot pack for 20 minutes before treatment and static stretching after treatment will apply in both groups. Each stretch is performed 10 repetition with hold duration of 30 sec and rest period 15 sec between each stretch. Total 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks (12 sessions) on alternative days will be given. Outcome of study will be elbow pain, elbow range of motion (flexion and extension) and functional disability will be measure by using Numerical Pain Rating Scale, Universal Goniometer and Dash Questionnaire Score respectively. Data will be investigated by using SPSS version 2023.
