Abstract

Purpose

To identify interactions among variables of the upper limbs, trunk, and hip joint associated with shoulder pain occurrence in asymptomatic overhead athletes.

Design

prospective cohort study.

Setting

Sports club facilities.

Participants

Ninety-five adult asymptomatic overhead athletes from national first division teams, both sexes.

Main outcomes measures

Isometric strength of the shoulder ER muscles, serratus anterior, lower trapezius and hip abductors, HipSIT, shoulder internal rotation (IR) range of motion (ROM), low flexion test, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test (CKCUEST), seat medicine ball test (SMB-T), upper seat shot put test (USSP-T), upper quarter Y balance test [UQYBT] and leg lateral reach test (LLRT). Shoulder pain occurrence was registered during a 6-month follow-up.

Results

The model correctly classified 77.4 % of the athletes who did not develop shoulder pain and 100.0 % of those who developed shoulder pain. The accuracy was 89 % (95 %CI:83 %,96 %). Athletes with UQYBT score under 88.5 %, and isometric strength of the shoulder ER muscles above 0.780 N/kg did not develop shoulder pain (RR:0.02, 95 %CI:0.001,0.44). Athletes with UQYBT score above 88.5 % and USSP-T performance above 3.175m developed shoulder pain (RR:14.09, 95 %CI: 3.27,60.56).

Conclusion

Shoulder pain occurrence in overhead athletes was associated with interactions among UQYBT, isometric strength of the shoulder ER muscles, and USSP-T.

期刊介绍： Physical Therapy in Sport is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum for the publication of research and clinical practice material relevant to the healthcare professions involved in sports and exercise medicine, and rehabilitation. The journal publishes material that is indispensable for day-to-day practice and continuing professional development. Physical Therapy in Sport covers topics dealing with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries, as well as more general areas of sports and exercise medicine and related sports science. The journal publishes original research, case studies, reviews, masterclasses, papers on clinical approaches, and book reviews, as well as occasional reports from conferences. Papers are double-blind peer-reviewed by our international advisory board and other international experts, and submissions from a broad range of disciplines are actively encouraged.
