This research study aims to bridge the gap in the existing literature by comparing the efficacy of Maitland mobilization and PFS techniques in the treatment of post-traumatic stiff elbow. While existing research has shown the favorable effects of joint mobilization and muscle energy techniques in other musculoskeletal conditions, there is a notable gap in understanding their efficacy in post-traumatic stiff elbow, particularly in Pakistan where no such study has been conducted. By investigating the comparative outcomes of these techniques, this research will contribute valuable clinical insights, potentially guiding clinicians in selecting the most effective treatment approach and laying the foundation for evidence-based treatment protocols tailored to patients with post-traumatic stiff elbow.
