The Immediate Effects on Shoulder Internal Rotation Motion and External Rotation Strength Following a Muscle Energy Technique in a Young Overhead Thrower: A Case Report

INTRODUCTION: Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD), total rotational motion (TRM) deficit, and weakness of the rotator cuff have been determined to be potential risk factors for the development of shoulder and elbow injuries in the overhead thrower. The causes for these deficiencies are multifactorial and the ability to identify and correct those deficits could decrease the potential for…
