Difference in range of motion in ball pushing action between two groups were compared with .05
level of statistical significance. The results was showed the range of motion during ball pushing on shoulder joint, elbow joint, hip joint and ankle joint between two group were statistically different at .05 level but wrist joint and knee joint were not statistically different.
