Full description

The objective of the study is to determine the comparison of sleeper stretch and cross body stretch on pain, range of motion and functional performance in cricket bowlers with GIRD. The study is randomized and single-blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International University, Lahore. Participants who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and allocated in group A & B through sealed envelope method by Non-probability Convenient random sampling technique. Subjects in Group A will receive sleeper stretch in a side lying position. Group B will receive cross-body stretch will be done in sitting position. A universal goniometer, Upper limb functional index (UEFI) scale and Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be used at the baseline and after the completion of treatment at 6 weeks.

The data will be analyzed by SPSS, version 25. Statistical significance is P=0.05.
