prone row exercise: freely off the side and the head in a neutral position, supported if needed. The starting position involves 90-degree shoulder flexion with full elbow extension (0-degree elbow flexion), transitioning into 0-degree shoulder flexion with 90-degree elbow flexion. From this position, a bilateral vertical pulling movement is performed, involving scapular retraction and shoulder extension against resistance. The motion ends with the elbow flexed at 90 degrees, the shoulder extended, and the scapula fully retracted towards the spine, with control throughout the movement. selected physical therapy treatment, which includes stretches to pectoralis minor, Posterior soft tissue. Codman's exercise, scapular sets and Wall slides and Postural exercises like thoracic extensions, Chin tuck and Scapular retraction exercises

The patient is seated on the pulldown machine with an upright trunk and feet flat on the floor, maintaining a stable posture. The starting position includes gripping the straight bar with a wide overhand (pronated) grip, marked to ensure a between-hands distance equal to 1.6 times the biacromial distance which is the horizontal distance between the most lateral points of the right and left acromion processes (shoulder tip). From this position, the participant performs a downward pulling movement, bringing the bar down in front of the face toward the upper chest near the clavicle in a smooth and controlled manner. selected physical therapy treatment, which includes stretches to pectoralis minor, Posterior soft tissue.
