NCT03421535 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: IRB#2017-087
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 23
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if stretching the contralateral sacroiliac (SI) joint improves GIRD in baseball players. Additionally, we aimed to compare our SI joint stretching regiment with a classically described sleeper stretch routine.

Conditions

Shoulder Impingement

Keywords

Glenohumeral internal rotational deficit; GIRD; Sleeper stretch; SI joint stretch

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Shoulder internal ROM after stretching opposite SI joint

  Internal range of motion of dominant shoulder after stretching opposite SI joint

  Measurement made within 30 minutes of stretching

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Shoulder Internal ROM after sleeper stretch

  Measurement made with 30 minutes of stretching

Study Arms (2)

Sleeper stretch group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

A certified athletic trainer supervised and observed the athlete as he performed the sleeper stretch on his dominant shoulder.

Procedure: Sleeper Stretch

Opposite SI joint Stretch

EXPERIMENTAL

A certified athletic trainer supervised and observed the athlete as he performed the SI joint stretch opposite his dominant shoulder.

Procedure: Opposite SI joint Stretch

Interventions
