Abstract

Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) is a common impairment of neuromuscular origin that affects overhead athletes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 4-week sleeper stretch program on proprioception and range of motion (ROM) in athletes clinically diagnosed with GIRD. This study was a single group crossover study design (pre-post). The athletes underwent sleeper stretching program (5 sessions/week for 4 weeks) on the affected and non-affected sides. A total of 32 male athletes (15 basketball/17 volleyball were assessed for outcome measures of internal rotation (IR), external rotation (ER), total range of motion (TROM), and proprioception in ER, IR, and TROM (eyes open and eyes closed) at baseline and at the end of intervention. The affected side ROM significantly improved from 54.53±8.90° to 77.56±4.33° and 58.27±3.33° to 81.10±3.67° for volleyball and basketball athletes, respectively (IR ROM); from 114.56±5.88° to 95.77±6.66° and 119.44±4.67° to 104.23±5.05° for volleyball and basketball athletes, respectively (ER ROM); and from 169.90±5.78° to 173.11±5.88° and 177.28±5.88° to 186.89±3.79° for volleyball and basketball athletes, respectively (TROM), after the four-week sleeper stretch exercise. The ROM changes were non-significant on the non-affected side (P>0.05). The ANOVA reading for individual sports was found to be significant: volleyball athlete IR: [P<0.05, effect size (ES)=0.63], basketball athlete IR: [P<0.05, ES=0.74], volleyball athlete ER [P<0.05, ES=0.49), basketball athlete ER [P<0.05, ES=0.38). However, there was no significant improvement in proprioception measured with both eyes open (EO) and eyes closed (EC) for the IR, ER, and TROM. This study establishes the important role of sleeper’s stretching protocol in improvement of internal rotation, external rotation, and total rotational motion of the affected side. These findings may have important clinical implications in the management of GIRD in volleyball and basketball athletes.

卧位伸展对肩关节内旋不足排球、篮球运动员本体感觉及活动范围的影响

肱骨盂内旋缺陷(GIRD)是一种常见的神经肌肉起源损伤，影响头顶运动员。本研究旨在探讨4周睡眠拉伸训练对临床诊断为GIRD的运动员本体感觉和活动度(ROM)的影响。本研究采用单组交叉研究设计(前后)。运动员在患侧和非患侧进行了睡眠拉伸计划(每周5次，持续4周)。共有32名男性运动员(15名篮球运动员/17名排球运动员)在基线和干预结束时评估了内旋(IR)、外旋(ER)、总活动范围(TROM)和ER、IR和TROM(睁眼和闭眼)的本体感觉。排球和篮球运动员患侧ROM分别从54.53±8.90°改善到77.56±4.33°和58.27±3.33°改善到81.10±3.67°(IR ROM);排球和篮球运动员分别为114.56±5.88°~ 95.77±6.66°和119.44±4.67°~ 104.23±5.05°(ER ROM);排球和篮球运动员(TROM)在进行为期四周的睡眠拉伸运动后，分别为169.90±5.78°至173.11±5.88°和177.28±5.88°至186.89±3.79°。未患侧的ROM变化无统计学意义(P < 0.05)。排球运动员IR [P<0.05，效应量(ES)=0.63]，篮球运动员IR [P<0.05, ES=0.74]，排球运动员ER [P<0.05, ES=0.49]，篮球运动员ER [P<0.05, ES=0.38]。然而，在IR, ER和TROM中，双眼睁开(EO)和双眼闭上(EC)测量的本体感觉没有显着改善。本研究确立了睡眠者拉伸方案在改善患侧内旋、外旋和总旋转运动方面的重要作用。这些发现可能对排球和篮球运动员GIRD的治疗有重要的临床意义。

期刊介绍： ''Comparative Exercise Physiology'' is the only international peer-reviewed scientific journal specifically dealing with the latest research in exercise physiology across all animal species, including humans. The major objective of the journal is to use this comparative approach to better understand the physiological, nutritional, and biochemical parameters that determine levels of performance and athletic achievement. Core subjects include exercise physiology, biomechanics, gait (including the effect of riders in equestrian sport), nutrition and biochemistry, injury and rehabilitation, psychology and behaviour, and breeding and genetics. This comparative and integrative approach to exercise science ultimately highlights the similarities as well as the differences between humans, horses, dogs, and other athletic or non-athletic species during exercise. The result is a unique forum for new information that serves as a resource for all who want to understand the physiological challenges with exercise.
