“…Participants played a mean (SD) of 9 (3) hours of tennis per week, and had been playing for a median (interquartile range) of 18 (22) years, having started playing at 23 (25.5) years of age. Thirty-nine percent of participants started playing at less than or equal to 13 years of age.…”

Study Design: Cross sectional. Objectives: To compare the strength and range of motion of the dominant and nondominant shoulders of adult female amateur tennis players. The secondary purpose of the study was to examine whether there were any differences in the observed relationships between women with a past history of shoulder pain and those with no history of shoulder pathology. Background: Information on characteristics of the shoulder in amateur female tennis players is scarce, as research has concentrated on highly skilled or male players, despite the cumulative prevalence of shoulder pain in this group. Methods and Measures: Fifty-one female competitive, amateur tennis players (average age, 45 years) were tested bilaterally for shoulder internal/external rotation passive range of motion and isokinetic concentric strength. Results: Shoulder range of motion and strength ratios were comparable between sides. In the dominant arm, the total rotational range of motion was 221°, with an internal to external rotator peak torque ratio of 1.05. External rotator strength was significantly greater in the dominant arm of individuals with no history of pain. Conclusions: Range of motion and strength adaptations widely reported in highly skilled tennis players were not apparent in amateur female players. In assessment and management, clinicians should regard the amateur female tennis player as a separate entity from the highly skilled player. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2004;34:402-409.

“…It is thought that a thicker posterior capsule would have increased structural stiffness, thereby limiting internal rotation [5,6,31,39]. Finally, others believe both are caused by an increase of humeral retroversion [8,32,33,35].…”

Background Anecdotal evidence suggests an association between glenohumeral internal rotation deficits (GIRD) and scapular dysfunction, an observable alteration in the normal position or motion of the scapula in relation to the thoracic cage. Questions/purposes We therefore hypothesized players with GIRD (15°or greater) will have decreased dominant arm scapular upward rotation and increased scapular protraction compared with baseball players with GIRD (14°or less). Methods We studied 43 baseball players with no current shoulder or elbow symptoms; 22 had GIRD 15°or greater and 21 had GIRD 14°or less. We measured glenohumeral internal rotation supine with the scapula stabilized. Scapular upward rotation was tested at rest; 60°, 90°, and 120°a bduction in the scapular plane; and scapular protraction at 0°, hands on hips, and 90°abduction in the scapular plane.

“…No, ova povezanost nije bila potvrđena u ljevoruke djece, utvrđeno je da je smjer zakrivljenosti kralježnice u ovoj skupini slučajno raspodijeljen. Hansgerd (1998) dokazao je kako sport u kojem su specifična naprezanja za gornji ekstremitet uglavnom jednostrana, tijekom rasta može dovesti do promjena u mekih tkiva i kosti. Istraživanje provedeno na profesionalnim tenisačima pokazalo je hipertrofiju kosti nadlaktice na rendgenskim snimcima na dominantnoj .…”
