Result : There is no significan-t dif ference of gestational age, sex & birth weight between nested and non-nested group means both group having same gestational age, sex & birth weight. There is no significant difference of shoulder position on day1 morning in nested and non-nested group and highly significant difference of shoulder position on day2, day3 morning in nested and non-nested group means that best possible shoulder movement on day2, day3 are significantly more in nested group. There is significant difference of shoulder position on day1 evening in nested and non-nested group and highly sig-nifi cant difference of shoulder position on day2, day3 evening in nested and non-nested group means that best possible shoulder movement on day1, day2, day3 are significantly more in nested group.
