About this study

Official title: Comparison of Cross Body and Sleeper Stretch on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Performance in Cricket Bowlers With Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficiency(GIRD).

The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A \& B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive sleeper stretch in a side lying position. Group B will receive cross-body stretch will be done in sitting position

Read the detailed description

The objective of the study is to determine the comparison of sleeper stretch and cross body stretch on pain, range of motion and functional performance in cricket bowlers with GIRD. The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A \& B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive sleeper stretch in a side lying position. Group B will receive cross-body stretch will be done in sitting position. A universal goniometer, Upper limb functional index (UEFI) scale and Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be used at the baseline and after the completion of treatment at 6 weeks.

The data will be analyzed by SPSS, version 25. Statistical significance is P=0.05.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Sleeper StretchOther

    They will receive three sessions a week for four weeks. In a session three sets with three repetitions of sleeper stretch in a side lying position

  • Cross Body StretchOther

    They will receive three sessions a week for four weeks. In a session, three sets with three repetitions of cross-body stretch will be done in sitting position.

Study groups in NCT06240819
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sleeper StretchOtherSleeper stretch in a side lying position in 90o abduction, elbow at 90o flexion and then performing shoulder IR for three sets with three repetitions.
Receives: Other: Sleeper Stretch
Cross Body StretchOthercross-body stretch will be done in sitting position. Three sets of the each stretch position would be held for 30 seconds with a 1 minute break between sets.
Receives: Other: Cross Body Stretch

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Shoulder Pain

    Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be used to assess pain.

    Measured: pre and 6 weeks post interventional

  2. Range of motion

    A universal goniometer will be used to measure ROM

    Measured: pre and 6 weeks post interventional

  3. Functional Performance

    upper extremity functional index (UEFI) scale to assess functional performance

    Measured: pre and 6 weeks post interventional
