Abstract
Aims and Objectives: The aim of research is to compare the effectiveness of shoulder cuff support versus shoulder strapping. Methodology : A sample of 20 stroke subjects was recruited for the study . The subject were randomly divided in to 2 groups Group A ( shoulder cuff group) and Group B (shoulder strapping group). Pre test assessment was done by Visual analogue scale & pain free range of motion to 90 0 degree. A received shoulder cuff and group B received shoulder strapping in their rehabilitation protocol. Both group were treated for 7 days . on seventh day reading were taken for both groups. Results: Development of pain and restriction of shoulder range is significantly less in group A- shoulder cuff group as compare to group B -shoul der strapping group on 7 th treatment day. Discussion: Use of shoulder cuff support with stroke patients particularly in the early flaccid stage useful in preventing shoulder pain. Support of the flaccid shoulder early in man agement can reduce the incidence of subluxation. Strapping would not ensure support to the soft tissue all the time, and it may encourage some abnormal synergy pattern. Conclusions : Shoulder cuff support significantly decrease the onset and intensity of pain in affected upper extremity and prevent restriction of range of motion .as compared to shoulder strapping.
