Effect of the Modified Sleeper-Stretch on the Elasticity of the Posterior and Posteroinferior Glenohumeral Capsule

Self-administered stretch in which the individual remains side-lying on the upper limb to be stretched, keeping the scapula stabilized by his/her own weight, and rolls the trunk 20-30º posteriorly, maintaining a 90º flexion in the shoulder and elbow. Using the opposite hand over the forearm of the limb to be stretched, the individual passively brings the shoulder to maximum internal rotation.
