Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Group Type OTHER

Horizontal adduction stretch without scapular stabilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Scapula stabilization is not performed during horizontal adduction stretch

Horizontal adduction with scapular stabilization

Scapular stabilization is provided during a manual horizontal adduction stretch of the shoulder. Each stretch is held for 25 seconds and repeated for a total of 3 times.

Group Type OTHER

horizontal adduction stretch with scapular stabilization

Intervention Type OTHER

Scapular is stabilized during manual horizontal adduction stretch
