Effects of Post-Isometric Relaxation Technique versus Cross Friction Soft Tissue Mobilization in Leg Spin Bowlers with Rotator cuff strain
The existing body of research on Pakistani Cyclists lacks comprehensive investigation into the role of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique, creating a noticeable gap in understanding the impact of such techniques on the performance, improving flexibility, and overall physical well-being of these athletes. Given the unique physical demands of Cyclists and the potential benefits associated with lower limb muscle strength, a focused exploration in this area is crucial to inform training strategies, enhance athletic performance, and contribute to the holistic development of Pakistani cyclists. To determine the comparative impact of sciatic nerve flossing and active release technique on pain, flexibility, and functionality in the lower limbs of cyclists with sciatica.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| post isometric relaxation | Experimental | 17 participants will be in post isometric group, After telling the bowler to calm down, a fresh movement barrier will be activated. This will be done three times a week for four weeks, for a total of five sets of five repetitions. |
|
| cross friction soft tissue mobilization | Experimental | 17 participants will be in soft tissue mobilization group, Patients in each group will receive12 treatment sessions, 3 days a week for 4 weeks. |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| post isometric relaxation | Other | the athlete will be given instructions to perform a 7-second isometric contraction in the direction of horizontal abduction at about 25% of peak effort, while the examiner will apply an opposing force at the distal humerus. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS): | The patient's degree of pain is measured using the 11-point NPRS. The words "no pain" on the left and "worst imaginable pain" on the right serve as the scale's anchors. (34) Patients score how much pain they are in right now, as well as how much pain they have had in the past 24 hours. | 4weeks |
| Goniometer | Studies have shown intra-rater reliability for goniometric measurements can vary but often falls within acceptable ranges. For instance, a study reported intra-rater reliability with an intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) ranging from 0.80 to 0.95, indicating good to excellent reliability. | 4weeks |
| Standard test for push-up (STPU) for measuring endurance | Standard push-up test (STPU)" starts from either a prone position or a straight arm support position. Arms are about shoulder-width apart, palms are flat on the ground, and fingers are pointing forward. Legs should be together, ankles flexed, and knees locked. The only parts of the body that touch the ground are the balls of the feet and the palms of the hands. Until the chin, nose, or chest reaches the ground, the body is lowered. | 4weeks |

| cross friction soft tissue mobilization | Other | by identifying the fascia restriction, patients in group B will be treated with the cross friction soft tissue mobilization approach, which comprised applying a low load and prolonged stretch through the knuckles or elbows to the constricted fascia. The therapist will then give the contralateral side of rotation resistance for ten seconds |
