Effects of Tissue Flossing Technique Versus Static Stretching Exercises of Bicep Muscle on Pain, Range of Motion and Function in Athletes With Bicipital Tendinitis
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Tissue Flossing Technique and Static Stretching Technique for Bicipital Tendinitis. Completed, enrolled 22 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This project will be a Randomized control trial conducted to check the effects of tissue flossing technique versus static stretching exercises of bicep muscle on pain, range of motion and function in patients with bicipital tendinitis, so that we can have best treatment option for them. Duration will be of 6 months. Purposive sampling will be done. Subjects fulfilling eligibility criteria from Allied hospital Faisalabad, will be randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method. Baseline assessment will be done. Group A participants will be given baseline treatment along with tissue flossing. Group B participants will be given stretching exercises along with baseline treatment for two weeks, 3 sessions per week. Post intervention assessment will be done via, Numeric pain rating scale(NPRS),Shoulder Pain And Disability Index (SPADI) and goniometric measurements of shoulder ranges. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 20.

Timeline
Interventions
Subjects will receive tissue-flossing intervention on bicep muscle for 30 sec to 2 min with an occlusion pressure of 100 mmHg. After removal of flossing, participants will perform bicep strengthening exercises at an intensity of 30% of 1 RM with 6-8 rep, 4 sets for a single day and 3 days per week for 2 weeks in total.
Subjects will perform passive static stretching exercises of bicep muscle. Each stretch will last for 30 sec at 100% of stretch intensity with 4 reps for each, 1 set per day and 3 days per week for total duration of two weeks. After the application of static stretch, participants will perform bicep strengthening exercises at an intensity of 30% of 1 RM with 6-8 reps, 4 sets for a single day and 3 days per week for 2 weeks in total.
