Summary

Sixty patients from both genders suffering from shoulder disability post unilateral NDS (modified radical, selective) will participate in this study. Their ages will be ranged from 30 to 50 years. They will be selected randomly from Damanhur Oncology center, El-Behira, Egypt. They will be randomly distributed into three equal groups (each group 20 patients).

Detailed description

Design of the study: In this study the patients were randomly assigned into three equal groups (twenty patients for each group). Group (A) : This group included twenty patients suffering from shoulder disability following NDS (modified radical, selective). They received Maitland mobilization Technique and scapular stabilization exercises in addition to the traditional physical therapy program which included (ROM exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for shoulder muscles) 3 sessions per week, for 2 months. Group (B): This group included twenty patients suffering from shoulder disability following NDS (modified radical, selective). They received Maitland mobilization Technique in addition to the traditional physical therapy program which included (ROM exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for shoulder muscles) 3 sessions per week, for 2 months. Group (C) : This group included twenty patients suffering from shoulder disability following NDS (modified radical, selective). They received scapular stabilization exercises in addition to the traditional physical therapy program which include (ROM exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for shoulder muscles) 3 sessions per week, for 2 months.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Maitland Mobilization	MM applies a passive oscillatory technique, classified from Grade I-IV with respect to intensity, to the shoulder in order to treat pain and stiffness. Grade I refers to an intensity of small amplitude that is applied at the beginning of the joint ROM, where there is no loading on connective tissue; it is often used in cases of severe pain
OTHER	Scapular Stabilization	Scapular stabilization exercises are thought to have an important role in improving pain and dysfunction in the shoulder. The concept that an unstable scapula is associated with pathology and dysfunction of the shoulder is well accepted. The predominant theory emphasizes that for optimal function of the glenohumeral joint, the scapula must provide a stable base upon which upper extremity tasks are completed. Impaired scapular stability increases the risk for pathologies such as impingement or rotator cuff tears
OTHER	Traditional Physical Therapy	ROM exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for shoulder muscles
