“…Previous studies showed that restricted SUR is linked to IR ROM limitation, such as glenohumeral internal rotation deficit [ 36 , 37 ]. In addition, the ROM and strength of IR in the throwing shoulder are limited due to osseous adaptation, posterior muscle tightness and posterior inferior capsule tightness [ 38 ]. This is also caused by weakness of the rotator muscle and variations in scapula-humeral rotations (dyskinesis) [ 39 , 40 ].…”

This study aims to assess the relationship between scapular upward rotation (SUR) across varying humeral-elevation angles (HEAs) and shoulder isokinetic strength and ratio in professional baseball pitchers. The subjects were professional baseball pitchers (n = 16) without a history of shoulder injury in the last six months. The subject’s SUR angles were measured with the humerus elevated at HEAs of 0° (at rest), 60°, 90°, and 120° to the scapular plane. Shoulder isokinetic strength was evaluated for shoulder internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) strength (PT%BW and TW%BW), and the ER/IR strength ratios were determined at 60, 120 and 180°/s using an isokinetic dynamometer. The SUR angle at an HEA of 0° was positively correlated with IR strength at 120°/s (r = 0.535) and 180°/s (r = 0.522). The SUR angle at an HEA of 60° was negatively correlated with the ER/IR strength ratios at 60°/s (r = −0.505) and 120°/s (r = −0.500). The SUR angle at an HEA of 90° was negatively correlated with the ER/IR strength ratios at 60°/s (r = −0.574; r = −0.554) and 120°/s (r = −0.521; r = −0.589) as well as with ER strength at 180°/s (r = −0.591, r = −0.556). The SUR angle at an HEA of 120° was negatively correlated with ER strength at 60°/s (r = −0.558), 120°/s (r = −0.504; r = −0.524), and 180°/s (r = −0.543) and the ER/IR strength ratio at 60°/s (r = −0.517). In this study, we found that the ratio of isokinetic strength between ER and IR became closer to the normal range on increasing the SUR angle. In particular, an HEA of 90°, which resembles the pitching motion, showed a clear relationship between SUR, shoulder ER, and the ratio of ER/IR isokinetic strength in professional baseball pitchers.

Shoulder Internal Rotator Strengthening vs. Muscle Energy Technique for Shoulder External Rotators on Bowling Speed in Fast Bowlers Playing Cricket- A Quasi-Experimental Study

INTRODUCTION: The shoulder joint is the most complex joint in the human body, the most mobile and least stable in relation to other joints. In bowling, using the upper extremity in the throwing motion is one of the most challenging tasks. In order to generate a precise throw, the numerous anatomical components involved in the overhead throwing motion must be coordinated. Shoulder muscular strength is a key component of excellent bowling, and the strength of various shoulder muscle groups influences bowling speed. Therefore, it is essential that bowling players exert strength in their performance. This lacks bone stability and sacrifices stability to increase mobility. OBJECTIVES: To analyse the effects of strengthening the shoulder internal rotators and the muscular energy technique of the shoulder external rotators on bowling speed in fast cricket players. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Participating rapid cricket players from sports field aged 18-30 years, were recruited and then randomly allocated into two groups: strengthening group and MET group. The strengthening group received muscle strengthening for the internal rotators of the shoulder and the MET group received the muscle energy technique for the external rotators. All the exercise interventions was involved physiotherapist supervision session with 12 repetitions and 3 sets 5 days per week up to eight weeks. Range of motion was measured by goniometer instrument and bowling speed was assessed by speed gun. All outcomes were assessed at baseline, 2nd week, 4th week and 8th week after the intervention with ANOVA of repeated measures. RESULTS: Of the 30 participants evaluated, the mean age, height, weight and BMI were, respectively, 21.40±2.36 years old, 1.74±0.09m, 71.80±16.77kg and 23.57±4.20Kg/m2 for the strengthening group and 22.53±1.55 years old, 1.70±0.04m, 62.47±8.02kg, 21.49±2.63Kg/m2 for the MET group.There was a statistically significant difference for all outcomes regarding the measured times between the two intervention groups. However, in the strengthening group, there was a greater effect size for internal rotation ROM (1.99 in the strengthening group versus 1.42 in the MET group) and for bowling speed (1.52 versus 1.39). External rotation ROM had a greater effect size in the MET group (1.66 for the MET group and 1.16 for the strengthening group). CONCLUSIONS: The result of study concludes that a significant improvement in shoulder internal rotators and external rotators strength leads to improve bowling speed, so the shoulder strength training protocol and muscle energy training can be incorporated for increasing the speed of the bowler.

“…Finally, Grade III force provides enough diversion or glide to allow the joint capsule to fully stretch; it is frequently utilised [1]. Muscle energy techniques are a subset of soft tissue osteopathic (originally) manipulation techniques that include patientspecific, precisely guided and controlled manipulation, as well as patient-initiated isometric and/or isotonic contractions, all aimed at improving musculoskeletal function and pain relief [13]. Muscle energy techniques (MET) extend muscles by combining mechanical and plastic changes in connective tissue.…”

Background: Periarthritis Shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a condition that results in tissue degeneration, thickening of the joint capsule, and a narrowing of the glenoid cavity. Diabetes mellitus is linked to many debilitating musculoskeletal disorders of the hand and shoulder. Prevalence of adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is estimated to be 11-30 percent in people with diabetes. Various interventions have already been used to prevent pain and improve quality of life. Both Muscle Energy Technique and Kalternborn Mobilization Technique are thought to have a pain-relieving effect. Aim & Objective: The study's aim is to compare the effects of both techniques on pain in diabetic patients. Methods/Design: In this study experimental study, the participants will be divided into two groups: Kalternborn Mobilization Technique Group (A) and Muscle Energy Technique Group (B) based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both interventions include 30-45 min session which will be carried out for duration of four days. Outcome will be Pain and Quality of Life and outcome measures will be evaluated at beginning and at the end of intervention period. Result: Successful Completion of trial of Muscle Energy Technique and Kalternborn Mobilisation Technique will provide evidence for best strategy targeting Pain and quality of life in diabetic patients with Periarthritis of Shoulder. Conclusion: The study will be concluded with the significant effect of Muscle Energy Technique and Kalternborn Mobilisation Technique on Periarthritis shoulder of diabetic patients.
