Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of The Effects of Different Stretching Techniques in Overhead Athletes With Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit
78 overhead athletes with Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) will be included in this study. Participants will be randomly divided into 3 different groups of 26 people. In each group will be applied posterior shoulder stretching exercises (PSSE) performed with different Muscle Energy Techniques (MET).
