Brief Summary: For many years researchers have been documented that the shoulder of the throwing athlete acquires a increase in external rotation of the dominant limb compared to the contralateral sideThis fact is followed with a loss of the internal rotation of the shoulder which is related with a higher rate of injuries in this joint and its known as Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit GIRD

Among the approaches for this condition the literature is inconclusive due to the low methodological quality of clinical trials madehowever the manual therapy has been used with success to relief the pain and restore the range of motion

The purpose of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of a mobilization with movement technique to improve the internal rotation of the shoulder in throwing athletes with GIRD

It will be a randomized controlled trial with the CONSORT bases with 40 participants that will be divided into two groups

Control group that will be submitted for an evaluation of shoulder range of motion internalexternal rotationof both limbs upper limb active movements to warm-up five minutes posterior capsule stretching Cross-body stretch for 3 sets of 30 seconds and revaluation immediately post-intervention and four weeks post-intervention
Mobilization group that will be submitted for an evaluation of shoulder range of motion internalexternal rotationof both limbs upper limb active movements to warm-upfive minutes posterior capsule stretching Cross-body stretch for 3 sets of 30 seconds plus a mobilization with movement technique to improve internal rotation of the dominant shoulder three sets of 10 repetitionsand revaluation immediately post-intervention and four weeks post-intervention

To evaluate the range of movement it will be use a standard goniometer with an attached customizes bubble inclinometer to ensure proper perpendicular alignment of the goniometer to the ground

The investigators hypothesis is that both group will have improvements in the internal rotation of the dominant shoulder however the mobilization group will have a statistically significant difference compared to control group immediately post-intervention Four weeks post-intervention this difference will equalize because of the only intervention applied

Results will be expressed as hazard ratios HR with their respective confidence intervals at 95 and adopting α 005 All analyzes will be performed by SPSS version 170
