Arm Label
PNF GROUP
TRT GROUP
Arm Description
PNF exercise twice daily five days per week for 8 weeks. D1 and D2 flexion and extension pattern for upper limb. In D1 Flexion-adduction -external rotation d1, extension -abduction-internal rotation and in D2 flexion-abduction-external rotation, extension-adduction-internal rotation
The duration of a TRT session Will be 60 min. Each session started with warm-up exercises for 10 min followed by 50 min of TRT. Each task will be repeated approximately 10 to 20 times, for 1 to 5 sets, or alternatively for 2 to 5 min. A 2 min rest period after every 15 min of practice will be allowed. Before commencing the exercise session, tasks will be demonstrated to each patient using the non-affected UE.
