About this study

This study will be a randomized clinical trial duration of study will be 10 months.

Data will be collected by convenient sampling technique from Pakistan cricket board. Three outcome measures will be compared by using different tools pain is measured by NPRS, mobility is measured by goniometer and performance is measured by upper limb rotation test .pre and post assessment is done Participants are divided into two groups group A undergoes closed kinetic chain exercise , group B undergoes throwers ten exercise observed values will be analyzed by using SPSS 27 software

Treatment and study plan

Closed kinetic chain exercises

Other

The group participated in 6 weeks of training session lasting for 45-50 minutes.The individual was positioned standing with the elbow joint completely extended, palm on the wall, and shoulder flexion at a 90° angle

thrower's ten exercises

Other

Throwers ten exercise are used to improve strength and endurance of rotator cuff muscles and scapular stabilizers, pre and post assessment is done as my study will be randomized clinical trial , 5-10 minutes of warm up , 45 minutes of resistance training and 5-10 minutes of cool down is added.
