Background: Adhesive capsulitis of shoulder is characterized by insidious and progressive pain and loss of active and passive mobility of glenohumeral joint. In many physical therapy programs for subjects with adhesive capsulitis of shoulder mobilization techniques are an important part of the intervention. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of PNF stretching techniques and Self stretching techniques in subjects with adhesive capsulitis.Objective: To compare the effectiveness of PNF stretching and self stretching in improving ROM, shoulder pain & disability index in patients with adhesive capsulitis.
Method: 30 subjects diagnosed by an orthopedic surgeon as having adhesive capsulitis of shoulder joint and who showed a typical restriction of external rotation and abduction were selected. Subjects were randomly taken, divided into two groups each of 15 subjects. Group A: (n=15):- Treated with PNF stretching. Group B: (n=15):- Treated with self stretching. Analysis was based on ROM and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) sub scores and total scores.
Outcome measures: The following outcome measures were measured at baseline, 2nd week and 4th week follow up.
1. Active ROM of shoulder External rotation and Abduction.
2. Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI).
Results: The ROM and SPADI percentage across baseline, 2nd week and 4th week follow up showed a significant improvement statistically in their mean scores within Group A and Group B. Statistically significant greater changes in score were found in PNF Stretching (Group A) for ROM and SPADI as compared to Self Stretching (Group B).
Conclusion: The results indicate that PNF Stretching (Group A) and Self Stretching (Group B) are significantly effective in improving ROM and SPADI (sub scores and total scores). However PNF Stretching (Group A) appears to be more effective in improving glenohumeral joint mobility and reducing disability as compared to Self Stretching (Group B).

Background & Purpose:- Most sports individuals or athletes including tennis players perform stretching during warm-up prior to physical activity in order to prevent injuries and enhance sports performance by improving flexibility. Traditionally static stretching exercises have been a prominent feature of warm up routines. On the other hand, dynamic stretching improves knee joint position sense, increases oxygen uptake and lowers lactate concentration. Hamstring and calf muscle group play a significant role in agility function in tennis players. So the study is conducted to check the effect of static and dynamic stretching of hamstring and calf muscle on agility performance in tennis players.
Objective
To check the effect of static and dynamic stretch on agility functions in tennis players.
Method
36 tennis players were taken for the study and the three different stretch protocols (no stretch, static stretch and dynamic stretch) were performed on each of them and time taken for the two agility drills were recorded in a pre and post stretch interventions. Study design : Experimental design Sampling technique : Purposive sampling technique Outcome measures:- 1) Shuttle run test 2) Tennis specific agility test.
Result
Results show that there was a significant decrease in time taken to complete the agility drill for the players performing dynamic stretching than those compared to no stretch and static stretching of the hamstrings and calf muscles.
Conclusion
Static stretching neither improves nor reduces performance and that dynamic stretching enhances performance of tennis players.
