Intervention  Propioception training   Quick Catch & Throw: Participant catches and immediately throws the ball without pausing. Deceleration Drill: In a kneeling position (same-side knee down), participant throws the ball backward over the shoulder. The examiner tosses it back, and the participant catches in throwing position and decelerates forward. Wall Dribble at 90°: Facing the wall, arm in throwing position with elbow close to the wall, participant rapidly dribbles the ball against the wall without pausing. Wall Dribble Circle: Facing the wall, arm overhead with elbow near wall, participant uses fingertips to dribble the ball in an arc from above the head to shoulder level and back.

Gender  Both 
Details  Male and female athletes aged 18–28 years,engaged in overhead sports e.g., volleyball, badminton, baseball, cricket, or overhead lifting.

Diagnosed with Shoulder Internal Rotation Deficit, loss in internal rotation and loss in total rotational motion compared to the non-dominant side.

Professional or actively competing athletes.

 
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  History of shoulder pain in the past 6 months.

Previous surgery, trauma, or fracture involving the shoulder girdle, neck, or elbow within the past year.

Presence of radicular pain originating from the cervical spine.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Functional Throwing Performance Index  The functional ability of the shoulder joint will be assessed using the Functional Throwing Performance Index (FTPI). The subject will stand 4.57 meters away from a 30.48 x 30.48 cm target marked on a wall at a height of 1.22 meters from the floor. The athlete will be instructed to throw a rubber playground ball into the target as many times as possible during a 30-second trial.

Before testing, each subject will perform 8 warm-up throws. The test will begin immediately after the warm-up, with the subject repeatedly throwing the ball into the target, catching the rebound from the wall, and continuing for 30 seconds.

The FTPI will be calculated as:
FTPI = (Number of accurate throws within the target) / (Total number of throws).

To ensure consistency, the same examiner will determine the accuracy of all throws. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
SEATED MEDICINE BALL THROW  An open-kinetic chain test to assess upper-body strength and power

Participants will sit with legs extended and back, shoulders, and head against a wall. Holding a 2 kg medicine ball at 90° shoulder abduction and elbow flexion, they will perform a chest pass without losing wall contact.

Three warm-up throws will be done, followed by a 2-minute rest. Four maximal-effort throws will be performed, with 1-minute rest intervals. Technique will be monitored.

A 10 m tape will be fixed to the floor. The ball, coated with magnesium carbonate, will mark the floor. The examiner will measure the distance from the wall to the nearest point of contact as the score.

Brief Summary  

Overhead athletes frequently perform repetitive throwing motions, which will increase the risk of shoulder injuries, particularly in the presence of Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD). GIRD will result in reduced internal rotation and altered joint mechanics, contributing to instability and overuse injuries.

Proprioception will play a crucial role in dynamic shoulder stability and throwing performance, yet it will remain underemphasized in upper-limb rehabilitation. This study will evaluate the effect of proprioceptive training on throwing performance in overhead athletes with shoulder internal rotation deficits, addressing a gap in current research.
