Synopsis

Forty-two athletes with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit were randomized to receive 4 weeks of a novel stretching technique (passive glenohumeral internal rotation with clam shell bridging; n=20) or traditional modified sleeper stretching (n=22) for the improvement of range of motion and shoulder pain. The outcomes of interest included glenohumeral internal rotation, shoulder pain on a numer...
