CONTEXT: Subacromial impingement is a common injury in baseball players and has been linked to a reduction in the subacromial space. In addition, it has been suggested that decreases in scapular upward rotation will lead to decreases in the subacromial space and ultimately impingement syndrome.
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between acromiohumeral distance and scapular upward rotation in healthy college baseball players.
DESIGN: Posttest-only study design.
SETTING: Controlled laboratory setting.
PARTICIPANTS: 24 healthy college baseball players. Intervention: Participants were measured for all dependent variables at preseason.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Acromiohumeral distance at rest and …
