Brief summary

the purpose of this study was to describe the relative contribution of the scapular motion on the extreme active amplitude of shoulder ER and IR, in throwing athletes.

Interventions

in a seated position subjects were asked to actively reach the end-range of shoulder axial rotation, on dominant shoulders, they performed three repetitions ovr a period of about 15 minutes. Humeral and scapular 3D positions were recorded by means of an electromagnetic tracking device. each subject was supervised by a physiotherapist. The task had an overall duration of 1 week, 1 hour each day.
