“…However, the specific anatomical structure of the upper limb contributes to an increased risk of numerous and frequent injuries. Epidemiological data show that upper limb injuries are among the most common injuries in sports and other physical activities [2,3]. Epidemiological studies have shown that from 20 to 40% of all injuries reported to the emergency department are injuries to the upper limb [4].…”

“…It has been shown that shoulder injuries constitute 8 to 13% of all sports injuries [2]. Regardless of the type and location of the injury, they must be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the athlete or person exercising recreationally can return to physical activity as soon as possible [3].…”

Background: The upper limb is crucial for functioning in everyday life, thus comprehensive assessment is crucial for physically active people to monitor the effect of exercise and prevent injuries. The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between upper limb function, shoulder mobility, and posture in individuals who participate in recreational strength training. Methods: Thirty-four subjects who engaged in strength training of the upper limbs were divided into two groups: Group 1 (exercise < 3 years) and Group 2 (exercise ≥ 3 years). Lateral scapular slide tests, head and clavicle posture evaluations, and shoulder mobility and closed kinetic chain tests were performed. Results: Group 1 had a greater flexion deficit in both shoulders than Group 2. There was greater external rotation in the non-dominant shoulder and a greater score of the closed kinetic chain test in Group 2 compared to Group 1. There were no statistically significant differences between groups regarding scapula, clavicle, and head posture. The closed kinetic chain test was correlated with a scapula position and symmetry in shoulder flexion in Group 2. Conclusions: Long-term strength training of the upper limbs can be recommended to improve functional abilities in the closed kinetic chain, increase shoulder mobility, and reduce asymmetry.

“…As for the athletes, the subject of this study, both in the competitive and amateur fields the incidence of shoulder injuries is high, but it must be related to the sporting gesture, and the specific aspects of the type of sport practiced (4). Almost in all sports, the most frequent injuries concern rotator cuff injuries, in particular, the supraspinatus muscle injury, which can cause a subacromial impingement syndrome; these injuries can result from a direct blow, fall on an outstretched arm, or overload syndromes.…”

Introduction.The Italian version of the Upper Extremity Functional Index (UEFI) may help assess shoulder function in patients with shoulder problems, especially athletes. Objective. Translate and cross-culturally adapt UEFI into Italian; verify UEFI validity and reliability in professional and amateur athletes with upper limb musculoskeletal disorders, shoulder, in particular. Methods. This study was conducted with 150 participants with musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limb. UEFI, the short version of the Disability of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand scale (Quick DASH), the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, and the Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) were administered. Acceptability was assessed in terms of refusal rate, rates of missing responses, and administration time; test-retest reliability was assessed with intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC); internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and validity was assessed by Pearson's correlation coefficients. Results. Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the UEFI on test and retest were α = 0.979 and α = 0.985, respectively. The average measure ICC was 0.917. The UEFI score demonstrated strong negative correlations with SPADI total score (-0.636), Quick DASH score (-0.685), and SF-36 score (-0.327). Conclusions. The Italian version of UEFI is acceptable, valid, and reliable.

“…Additionally, unsupported upper limb movement is required to perform many of these activities (2). At the same time, upper extremity activities play a significant role in many sports (3,4). It has been shown that some of the muscles that participate in upper extremity positioning may have both ventilatory and postural tasks (5).…”

Purpose: Upper extremities are important to perform activities of daily living. Although, the relationship between upper extremity movements and spinal region is known; to the best of our knowledge, the relationship between unsupported upper extremity exercise capacity (UUEEC) and spinal mobility has not been studied. The first aim of our study was to examine the relationship between the UUEEC and spinal mobility. The second aim of the study was to determine whether spinal mobility is a predictor of the UUEEC. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional. Forty asymptomatic and volunteer individuals were included in the study. The 6-minute pegboard and ring test (6PBRT) was performed to assess the UUEEC. Spinal mobility was assessed to use a hand-held, computer-assisted electromechanical device. The analysis of spinal mobility in the sagittal (SAP – maximal extension/flexion) and the coronal (CRP – maximal left/right lateral flexion) plane was measured. Results: The 6PBRT score had significant correlation with the SAP spinal mobility (r=0.361, p=0.022) and the CRP spinal mobility (r=0.322, p=0.043). Stepwise multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated that the SAP spinal mobility was significant and independent determinants of the 6PBRT score with 11% of the variance. Conclusions: In this first study in the literature investigating the relationship between spinal mobility and the UUEEC, the SAP spinal mobility was found as a predictor of the UUEEC in asymptomatic individuals. This study demonstrates that the UUEEC can be improved by increasing spinal mobility.
