Detailed description

Participants will be recruited into their respective groups using a coin toss method. De Quervain Tenosynovitis will be assessed using the following tests: 1. Wrist hyperflexion and abduction of thumb (WHAT) test 2. Finkelstein's / Eichhoff's test 3. De Quervain Screening Tool

Conditions

• De Quervain Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Isometric training of thumb muscles	Isometric training for thumb extension, abduction, radial and ulnar deviation will be performed in 3 sessions/ week for 4 weeks. The exercise protocol will begin with training using manual resistance and progress with training against resistance of elastic band and theraband.I
PROCEDURE	Eccentric training for thumb muscles	In Group B, eccentric training for thumb extension, abduction, radial and ulnar deviation will be performed in 3 sessions/ week for 4 weeks. The exercise protocol will begin with training using unweighted and weighted hammer curls and progress with training using elastic band, dumbbell and theraband.
PROCEDURE	Ultrasound	Therapeutic ultrasound for symptom management
