Effect of an Exercise Program on Glenohumeral Rotation range of Motion in volleyball players with Scapular Dyskinesis

In overhead Athletes, performing the repetitive and high intensity throwing activities causes to reduce the Glenohumeral internal rotation range of motion (GIR ROM) in dominant shoulder and Scapular Dyskinesis (SD). These factors may make the shoulder predispose to injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of selected exercises protocol on the Glenohumeral Rotation ROM and SD in overhead athletes. The present study is a descriptive study that was conducted on ۵۴ volleyball players with SD. Goniometer and Lateral scapular slide test (LSST) were used to measure the Glenohumeral Rotation ROM and SD, respectively. The experimental group participated in eight weeks of exercises. Data were analyzed using independent t-test. In the experimental group, the GIR and SD after exercises showed a significant increase (P= ۰.۰۰۱) and a decrease (P= ۰.۰۰۱), respectively; while in the control group, the changes were not significant. Therefore, the exercises protocol can lead to increase the GIR and correct the SD in overhead athletes, and it is recommended to consider it as a part of their routine exercises
