TO COMPARE THE EFFICACY OF TWO DIFFERENT SOFT TISSUE RELEASE TECHNIQUES IN TREATING INDIVIDUALS WITH TERMINAL SHOULDER FLEXION DYSFUNCTION: A PILOT STUDY

This pilot study aimed to compare the efficacy of two soft tissue release techniques-visceral mobilization of liver ligaments and myofascial release of the pectoralis minor muscle-on terminal shoulder flexion dysfunction. Thirty participants aged 20-40 years with shoulder dysfunction for over three months were randomly assigned to three groups: Group A (control group), Group B (visceral mobilization), and Group C (myofascial release). All groups received conservative physiotherapy. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included pain intensity, range of motion (ROM), pectoralis minor length, and QuickDASH scores.
