Summary

This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the effects of scapular and upper limb proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques on shoulder pain, upper limb function \& gait in stroke with scapular dyskinesia. This study is a randomized control trial that includes 44 patients which were randomly divided into two groups each containing 22 participants. Experimental group will receive scapular PNF coupled with upper limb PNF and conventional physiotherapy treatment and Control group will receive only Conventional treatment.

Interventions

OTHERScapular PNF

scapular PNF coupled with upper limb PNF and conventional physiotherapy treatment . It was a 6 week's intervention in which patients got treatment protocol for 30 mints 5 times a week.

OTHERConventional treatment

Conventional treatment. It includes closed kinematic chain exercises of upper limb, upper and lower extremity range of motion exercises, stretching and strengthening exercises for upper limb, trunk and lower limb, balance \& coordination, manual dexterity exercises (e.g., grasp release), and teaching of ADLs..
