Table 1 The throwing exercise with TheraBand
Exercises | Position/description | |
|---|---|---|
Eccentric exercise for the external rotators in an abducted position Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group | Exercises that accentuate the eccentric phase and “avoid” the concentric phase in order to load the muscles based on their eccentric capacity. Figures shows an example of an eccentric exercise for the external rotators in general in an abducted position. Week 1–2: (3* 15 s) Week 3–6: (3* 17 s) Week 7–8: (3* 20 s) |
External Rotation 90 Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group | Week 1–2: (3* 15 s) Week 3–6: (3* 17 s) Week 7–8: (3* 20 s) |
Perturbations applied to the patient’s extremity in the 90/90 position using the scapular plan Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group | Perturbations applied to the patient’s extremity in the 90/90 position using the scapular plane. Week 1–2: (3* 15 s) Week 3–6: (3* 17 s) Week 7–8: (3* 20 s) |
Catching exercise Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group | Prone 90/90 plyometric exercise for posterior rotator cuff and scapular training. Week 5–6: (3* 10 s) Week 7–8: (3* 12 s) |
Sleeper Stretch 1 Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group | On the prone position Week1–8: (5* 30 s) |
Sleeper Stretch 2 Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group | Performed in prone with manual stabilization of the scapula. Week1–8: (5* 30 s) |
Sleeper Stretch 3 Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group and control group | Traditional position, self-stretch performed in side lying with arm at 90 degrees of abduction. Week1–8: (5* 30 s) |
Sleeper Stretch 4 Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group and control group | Alternate sideling position, self-stretch with arm elevated above 90 degrees. Week1–8: (5* 30 s) |
Sleeper Stretch 5 Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group and control group | alternate sideling position, self-stretch with arm at 45 degrees Week1–8: (5* 30 s) |
Sleeper Stretch 6 Weeks (repetition * time) | Performed by the experimental group | Passive stretch performed in supine, with stabilization of the scapula. Week1–8: (5* 30 s) |
