The consent form was filled and. The demographic data was collected for each participant and the purpose of the study was explained to all the participants. Their responses were collected using western Ontario shoulder instability index, patient rated elbow evaluation an patient rated wrist evaluation which was administered to the players using google forms on a 10 point rating scale ranging from no pain as 0 and severe as 10. And the responses were noted down.
Results: Out of total 100 participants 45% players had moderate pain and 40% had severe pain at wrist joint causing pain as compared to shoulder and elbow.
