Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Apparently healthy individuals of both genders aged 18 to 30 years, playing overhead sport and who are willing to participate. 2. Participants with a 10 degree or greater difference in internal rotation on their dominant and non-dominant shoulder measured at 90 degrees of abduction.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Presence of known any orthopedic or neurologic pathology, or current pain in the shoulder, cervical, or thoracic regions. 2. A history of fracture or surgery of the humerus, scapula, or clavicula in the past 6 months. 3. Any kind of neurological disorders which affect movement system. 4. Positive Neer, Hawkins-Kennedy, and apprehension tests (to rule out rotator cuff disease and glenohumeral instability).
