Official title:
The Effect of Scapular Stabilization During Horizontal Adduction Stretching on Passive Internal Rotation and Posterior Shoulder Tightness in Young Female Volleyball Athletes.

Study type | Interventional |
The purpose of this study is to determine if stabilizing the scapula (shoulder blade) during a common shoulder stretch is more effective at improving shoulder range of motion than not stabilizing the scapula. Investigators hypothesize that scapular stabilization during horizontal adduction stretching will demonstrate greater gains in shoulder range of motion than stretching without scapular stabilization.

Primary | Change in Posterior Shoulder Tightness | An inclinometer is used to measure posterior shoulder tightness. | Change from baseline posterior shoulder tightness to immediately following manual stretching. The baseline is measured, followed by 3 stretches held for 25 seconds and then the follow up measure is taken. This is the conclusion of this measure. | No |
Secondary | Change in Internal Rotation | An inclinometer is used to measure internal rotation | Change from baseline internal rotation to immediately following manual stretching. The baseline is measured, followed by 3 stretches held for 25 seconds and then the follow up measure is taken. This is the conclusion of this measure. | No |
