What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- 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.
