Cross Body vs Sleeper Stretch on Pain, Range of Motion and Functional Performance in Cricket Bowlers.

January 28, 2024 updated by: Riphah International University

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

Study Overview

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.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Other
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Sleeper Stretch
Sleeper stretch in a side lying position in 90o abduction, elbow at 90o flexion and then performing shoulder IR for three sets with three repetitions.
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
Other: Cross Body Stretch
cross-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.
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.
