BackgroundRehabilitation of injuries in upper extremity and reestablishing the muscle strength throughout the range of motion in over head movements are the major concerns of athletes and coaches in the sports field.PurposeTo determine the effect of eight-week "gyroscopic device" mediated resistance training exercise on grip strength, wrist and shoulder strength and proprioception, and upper extremity performance in participants with impingement syndrome or tennis elbow.Design and methodsFor this study, in university rehabilitation clinic 45 volleyball players (aged 22–28) purposefully were selected and divided into 3 groups: shoulder impingement (group I), tennis elbow (group II), and control (group III). The experimental groups performed the "gyroscopic device" mediated resistance training three sessions a week over 8 wk. Grip strength, wrist and shoulder strength and proprioception, and upper extremity performance were measured before and after implementation of the intervention (eight-week resistance training using a "gyroscopic device") using the hand hold dynamometer, isokinetic dynamometer, and Y balance test respectively.ResultsAfter 8 weeks of "gyroscopic device" exercise, improvement in the shoulder, wrist and grip strength, shoulder and wrist proprioception and performance scores of both experimental groups was significant. There were no significant differences between study groups I and II, both groups, however, demonstrated significant differences when compared to the control group, but between group I and control group, and between group II and control group the difference was significant. However, no significant change was seen in the control group.ConclusionsDue to the significant effects of the "gyroscopic device" mediated exercise on grip strength, wrist and shoulder strength and proprioception, and performance of the upper extremity, use of the exercise can be recommended for subjects with impingement syndrome or tennis elbow impairment in measured variables. More research is needed to confirm the result of this study.
