Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Posterior capsule tightness can result due to abnormal humeral head motion which decreases subacromial space during overhead activities leading to compression of tissues causing limited shoulder flexion, internal rotation and horizontal adduction. Posterior capsule tightening occurs when the capsular tissue and musculature of the shoulder tighten, usually due to "repeated overload in the eccentric portion of arm deceleration. This loss of internal rotation results from contracture and tightening of the posterior inferior portion of the glenohumeral joint capsule, which occurs from the repetitive microtrauma imparted during the deceleration phase of the throwing motion. Repetitive throwing motion creates adaptive increased external rotation and decreased internal rotation in the dominant shoulder joint which is termed as GIRD (Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit).Posterior capsule tightness is often treated without surgery. It can be treated by strengthening, stretching, neuromuscular control exercises. Strengthening protocol can perform specifically on Weak muscles by using resistance and weight. The neuromuscular training helps the body to act and react on different pattern of stress demand on it through neural pathways. The mainstay of the posterior capsule tightness treatment for athlete is the stretching of the posterior capsule. One author proposed the modified forms, the modified sleeper stretch and the modified cross body stretch. And found these modified stretching more effective and beneficial than the sleeper and cross body stretch Literature review: Kevin et al investigated the acute effects of sleeper stretch on posterior shoulder tightness and internal rotation of shoulder. There was significant improvement in results.
A study conducted in 2018 to determine whether posterior shoulder stretch was effective in increasing internal rotation and horizontal adduction ROM in volleyball and tennis players with internal rotation deficit \>¬¬15 degrees. The intervention group performs the sleeper stretch daily for 8 weeks. Results showed significant improvement in internal rotation and horizontal adduction.
Another article was published in 2014, with the aim to compare the effects of horizontal adduction stretch with scapular stabilization versus horizontal adduction stretch without scapular stabilization on posterior shoulder tightness and passive internal rotation. Results showed significant improvement among the scapular stabilization group.
A RCT conducted in which each subject completed stretching interventions for two days. Purpose of the study was to investigate acute effects of modified sleeper stretch and modified cross body stretch on posterior shoulder tightness and glenohumral internal rotation deficit with more than 10-degree loss.

Modified cross body stretch
Athlete was in side lying positioned. trunk was moved posteriorly 200 to 300 and shoulder is raised to 900 and semi flex both knees. Athlete was ask to passively pull the humerus across the body into horizontal adduction with the opposite hand.
5 reps once daily 3 sets for 4 weeks was given
Modified sleeper stretch

Modified sleeper stretch
Athlete was in side lying positioned on the involved side, trunk was rolled posteriorly 200 to 300 and shoulder is raised to 900 and elbow is flexed to 900 and semiflex both knees. athlete was ask to perform internal rotation passively by using the opposite arm.
5 reps once daily 3 sets for 4 weeks was given
