Laura: Deficits in Glenohumeral Passive Range of Motion Increase Risk of Shoulder Injury in Professional Baseball Players: A Prospective Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wilk, Macrina, and Fleisig, et al. have recently published a fourth study in a series of prospective cohort studies examining the relationship between shoulder passive range of motion and risk of injury in professional baseball players over the course of 8 competitive seasons. A total of 296 pitchers were evaluated each year starting in 2005 for passive range of motion in both dominant and non-dominant shoulders for flexion, internal rotation at 90 degrees, and external rotation at 90 degrees. The athletes were then followed through the conclusion of the 2012 Major League Baseball season and recorded injured when the player was placed the disabled list (DL) for any throwing shoulder injury.

Associations among hip and shoulder range of motion and shoulder injury in professional baseball players.
CONTEXT The overhead throwing motion is complex, and restrictions in range of motion (ROM) at the hip may place additional demands on the shoulder that lead to injury. However, the relationship between hip and shoulder ROM in athletes with and without a history of shoulder injury is unknown. OBJECTIVE To (1) determine if differences exist in hip and shoulder ROM between professional baseball ...

Introduction and aim: One of the most significant risk factors for throwing athletes is an internal rotation deficit of the shoulder joint. This study investigated 8-week online scapular-focused training on the scapular kinematics, proprioception, and strength of particular shoulder muscles in female volleyball players with Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit. Methodology: The present study...

BACKGROUND The posterior shoulder muscles play key roles in maintaining shoulder function in throwing. Arm fatigue has been identified as a risk factor for shoulder and elbow pain in youth baseball pitchers. However, endurance of the posterior shoulder muscles in overhead athletes is not routinely examined or conditioned. HYPOTHESIS Upper extremity muscular endurance can be improved in adoles...
متن کاملThe acute effects of sleeper stretches on shoulder range of motion.
CONTEXT The deceleration phase of the throwing motion creates large distraction forces at the shoulder, which may result in posterior shoulder tightness and ensuing alterations in shoulder range of motion (ROM) and may result in an increased risk of shoulder injury. Researchers have hypothesized that various stretching options increase this motion, but few data on the effectiveness of treating ...
