Abstract
Cricket fast bowlers are having reduced glenohumeral joint Proprioception or joint position sense because of fatigue injuries. Proprioceptive training improves the joint position sense and there by reduces the risk of shoulder joint injuries. The aim of this study is to compare the effect of closed kinematic chain exercises with open kinematic chain exercises in improving the glenohumeral joint position sense in male cricket fast bowlers. An effort was put in this study to find out the effect of closed kinematic chain exercises with open kinematic chain exercises in improving glenohumeral joint position sense. Subjects were intercollegiate cricket fast bowlers referred by the coaches of their respective colleges. Forty five subjects were taken for the study and allotted into three groups. The three groups are closed kinematic chain exercise group, open kinematic chain exercise group and the control group. All the subjects were screened for any contraindications. The outcome measure taken for the study is Glenohumeral joint position sense. The different criterion positions assessed were 15, 30 and 45 degrees of internal rotation and 15, 30and 45 degrees of external rotation. The outcomes of the study were taken on the first day and after six weeks. The treatment was given for five days a week for a total of six weeks. Subjects are advised not to indulge in other activities other than the given exercise protocol. The joint position sense assessment was done by the inclinometer. The statistical analysis was done using paired ‘t’ test at 5% level of significance and one way ANOVA. The result shows that there was a significant difference between the experimental and control groups.
