Effects of Battle Rope Training on ROM and Pain in Children With Post Traumatic Elbow Contractures.

Plain-language summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness of battle rope training in improving ROM, reducing pain, and enhancing overall elbow function in children with post-traumatic elbow contracture. By comparing standard therapy alone to standard therapy plus battle rope training, the study aims to determine if this added intervention leads to greater improvements in functional mobility and pain relief.In this randomized controlled trial, participants will be divided into two groups: a control group, receiving standard treatment (ROM exercises, stretching, and heat therapy), and an intervention group, receiving the same standard treatment plus battle rope training. ROM exercises and stretching will focus on gentle elbow flexion and extension to enhance flexibility, while heat therapy will prepare muscles for movement. The intervention group will additionally perform 10-15 minutes of battle rope training, involving dynamic movements that engage the upper body and increase joint activation. Pre- and post-intervention assessments using a goniometer for ROM, the Flynn scoring system for functional and cosmetic outcomes, and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain will provide comprehensive data on the effectiveness of the intervention
