Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Sleeper Stretch	Sleeper Stretch	Sleeper stretch in a side lying position in 90o abduction, elbow at 90o flexion and then performing shoulder IR for three sets with three repetitions.
Cross Body Stretch	Cross Body Stretch	cross-body stretch will be done in sitting position. Three sets of the each stretch position would be held for 30 seconds with a 1 minute break between sets.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder Pain	pre and 6 weeks post interventional	Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) will be used to assess pain.
Range of motion	pre and 6 weeks post interventional	A universal goniometer will be used to measure ROM
Functional Performance	pre and 6 weeks post interventional	upper extremity functional index (UEFI) scale to assess functional performance
