Conventional rehabilitation methods concentrate on enhancing shoulder range of motion and minimizing discomfort. It has been suggested that by enhancing scapular kinematics and muscle activation patterns, scapular stabilization workouts can improve functional outcomes. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the functional outcomes of a scapular stabilization exercise program in individuals receiving rehabilitation for frozen shoulder. Methods: Forty people who had been diagnosed with frozen shoulder participated in a randomized controlled trial. One of two groups the scapular stability exercise group (Group A) or the standard rehabilitation group (Group B) was assigned at random to each participant. The eight-week intervention consisted of five thirtyminute sessions, held five times a week. For eight weeks, Group A supplemented their traditional range-ofmotion exercises with scapular stabilization exercises. Sessions lasted thirty minutes, consisted of ten repetitions each, and were conducted five days a week. Group B carried on with just traditional workouts. Functional outcomes were assessed using the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Goniometry for range of motion tests, and the Disability Associated with the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) questionnaire at the beginning of the experiment. Follow-up assessments were carried out after the eight-week intervention phase. Results and Conclusion: When compared to the control group, the scapular stabilization group showed better results in terms of reduced discomfort and increased mobility. This implies that adding scapular stabilization exercises to the adhesive capsulitis treatment regimen could result in improved therapeutic outcomes. Larger sample sizes and longer follow-up times are required for future study in order to confirm these results and improve adhesive capsulitis patient's treatment plans.

A common overuse ailment that affects the forearm's extensor tendons and causes severe discomfort and functional restrictions is called lateral epicondylitis. Fifty volunteers, aged between twenty and forty, were split equally into two groups for the study: Group B received MFR and Group A received MET. There was a 4-week intervention for both groups. The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) were employed to measure pain and functional performance, respectively. The outcomes showed that both groups' post-intervention functional performance had significantly improved and there had been a considerable decrease in discomfort. Group A had an improvement in PRTEE from 65.33±4.72 to 33.17±4.46, and a mean decrease in NPRS pain from 6.67±0.97 to 3.87±0.83. Group B had an improvement in PRTEE from 66.83±3.66 to 31.20±4.57 and a mean reduction in NPRS pain from 6.20±0.94 to 3.17±0.85.MFR was found to be more effective than MET through comparative study, with Group B demonstrating noticeably higher results in terms of pain reduction and functional performance. In summary, patients with lateral epicondylitis can effectively manage their pain and improve their function with both MFR and MET, but MFR shows higher efficacy in these areas. To validate these results, other studies with bigger sample sizes and longer follow-up times are advised.

Depending on where and how long the pain lasts, there are three general categorizations for Lumbar discomfort: acute less than 6 weeks, sub-acute 6 to 12 weeks, and chronic more than 12 weeks. Several theories concerning the cause of nonspecific LBP feature poor posture, low body mass, hamstring flexibility, psychological discomfort, diminished trunk extensor endurance, and faulty muscular control of trunk. Pain in the lower back is a challenging illness which can result from injuries pertaining to the muscles and ligaments providing support vertebral column or from overuse or strain. One common treatment method for Lumbar discomfort is exercise therapy. This includes diverse forms of therapies including muscular strengthening, several forms of flexibility and stretching, and cardiovascular exercise for overall physical fitness. Normally, the stabilization system's job is to give the spine enough stability to meet the demands of changing circumstances immediately due to the posture changes with static and dynamic loads. As Per traditional understanding, spinal stabilization primarily relies on spinal biomechanics, the intervertebral disc, spinal ligaments, and osseous components. The stabilization and mobility of the lumbar spine can be facilitated by any muscle that exits the lumbar region. However, according to certain research, the lumbar multifidus and transverses abdominis muscles are very crucial for the stability of the lumbar segment. There is preliminary data indicating that those with long-term Lumbar discomfort do not properly recruit their core muscles and display core weakness13. Standard Exercise for back extension and exercises for lumbar stability both are used to treat low back discomfort. Thus, an effort is undertaken to compare and investigate the benefits of traditional back extension exercises and lumbar stabilization activities in patients with chronic Lumbar discomfort.

These exercises can be categorized into two major types, namely static and dynamic. Static stretches necessitate sustaining a specific position for a predetermined duration, while dynamic stretches involve executing controlled movements throughout the entire range of motion. The implementation of stretching exercises can yield improvements in flexibility, a reduction in muscle tension, an augmentation of blood flow, and a mitigation of injuries. Consequently, they are frequently integrated into warm-up and cool-down routines for various physical activities. The possession of flexibility is of utmost importance for young individuals participating in the sport of basketball as it serves as a preventative measure against injuries and contributes to an improved level of performance. Inadequate flexibility, particularly in regions such as the lower back, hips, and ankles, is a common contributor to the occurrence of injuries. Engaging in dynamic stretching exercises before engaging in games or practices can prove advantageous as it aids in the enhancement of flexibility and minimizes the risk of injury by augmenting the range of motion and blood circulation within the muscles. However, it is crucial to note that excessive stretching or the imposition of flexibility beyond natural limits may result in injuries such as muscle strains or ligament tears.
