The shoulder joints of Wheelchair basketball athletes are subjected to a lot of pressure and injuries due to overhead throwing movements, repetitive activities, wheelchair propulsion and body weight-bearing, which can lead to a decrease in proprioception.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Thera-band exercise program on the proprioception of the shoulder joint for the elite male in wheelchair basketball athletes.

14 athletes (8 intervention group, 6 control group) participated in this study from two clubs in Tehran province. The teams were divided into intervention and control groups. Initially, the proprioception of internal and external rotation of dominant shoulder was measured using isokinetic Biodex system 4 by two methods of joint position sense (JPS) and threshold to detect movement (TTDM). Then the intervention group performed a shoulder injury prevention program with a Thera-band for eight weeks, and at the end, both groups were tested again by isokinetic Biodex system 4.

The results of this study showed that this training program increases the proprioception of internal and external rotation of dominant shoulder (P <0.05).

The findings of this study suggest that the shoulder injury prevention training program by using Thera-band has been effective on proprioception of internal and external rotations of the wheelchair basketball athletes' shoulders. Therefore, to wheelchair basketball coaches and athletes and athletes of other sports and non-athlete wheelchairs are recommended to perform this exercise program to improve the proprioception of the shoulder muscles.
