Brief Summary:
this study aimed to investigate the effect of 3 types of cervical mobilization on the strength of shoulder abductors, external rotators and pain level in patient with rotator cuff tendinitis. the measurement will be made immediately, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after mobilization

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Rotator Cuff Tendinitis Procedure: cervical mobilization Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
subjects will be allocated according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria from outpatient clinic at El sahel teaching hospital. they will be assigned randomly into 3 groups, each group will receive certain type of cervical mobilization. the outcome measures will be measured before, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after treatment

Arm Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: group A
This group will receive antero-posterior cervical mobilization at c5-6 grade III oscillation
Procedure: cervical mobilization
3 types of cervical mobilization at the level of C 5- 6

Active Comparator: group B
This group will receive lateral glide cervical mobilization at c5-6 grade III oscillation
Procedure: cervical mobilization
3 types of cervical mobilization at the level of C 5- 6

Active Comparator: group C
This group will receive postero-anterior cervical mobilization at c5-6 grade III oscillation
Procedure: cervical mobilization
3 types of cervical mobilization at the level of C 5- 6




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. change in strength of shoulder abductors [ Time Frame: before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization ]
    strength testing with a hand-held dynamometer will be applied for 3 groups using Isometric contraction of shoulder abductors

  2. change in strength of shoulder external rotators [ Time Frame: before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization ]
    strength testing with a hand-held dynamometer will be applied for 3 groups using Isometric contraction of shoulder external rotators

  3. change in pain level [ Time Frame: before treatment, immediate, 10 minutes, and 30 minutes after cervical mobilization ]
    pain severity will be measured using visual analogue scale for 3 groups
