Soft tissue impingement of the shoulder occurs in two critical areas; the subacromial space and coracohumeral space, areas often associated with shoulder dysfunction, pain and injury. Impingement has been described in several different anatomic locations and can be affected by gleno-humeral positioning. Sub-acromial and sub-coracoid impingement have been described as possible sources of pain and dysfuntion in overhead athletes or as a result of repetitive motion stress and postural dysfunction…

Current Concepts in the Rehabilitation of the Overhead Throwing Athlete
TLDR
The typical musculoskeletal profile of the overhead thrower and various rehabilitation programs for specific injuries are discussed and structured, multiphase approach with emphasis on controlling inflammation, restoring muscle balance, improving soft tissue flexibility, enhancing proprioception and neuromuscular control is followed.
The effects of shoulder laxity on upper extremity blood flow in professional baseball pitchers.
A profile of glenohumeral internal and external rotation motion in the uninjured high school baseball pitcher, part I: motion.
TLDR
This range-of-motion profile might be used to assist with the interpretation of normal and atypical shoulder rotation motion in this population and to develop a normative profile of glenohumeral rotationmotion in uninjured high school baseball pitchers.

The throwing athlete is at risk for neurovascular injuries of the shoulder because of the excessive demands placed upon the shoulder by repetitive throwing motions. The most commonly recognized…
Asymmetric resting scapular posture in healthy overhead athletes.
TLDR
The results emphasize the importance of the baseline evaluation in this population of healthy overhead athletes in order to accurately assess pathologic change in bilateral scapular positions and orientations after injury.
Mobility and Stability Adaptations in the Shoulder of the Overhead Athlete
TLDR
There is more compelling evidence that leads us to believe that altered shoulder mobility in the overhead-throwing athlete is more strongly associated with adaptive changes in proximal humeral anatomy (i.e. retroversion) than to structural changes in the articular and periarticular soft tissue structures.
Evaluation of a lower-body compression garment
TLDR
The elasticity of the compressive garment provides increased flexion and extension torque at the end range of extension and flexion, respectively, and may assist the hamstrings in controlling the leg at theend of the swing phase in sprinting.
Scapular Position and Orientation in Throwing Athletes
TLDR
The results indicate that throwing athletes have scapular position and orientation differences compared to nonthrowing athletes, and suggests that throwers develop chronic adaptation for more efficient performance of the throwing motion.
Relationship of muscular strength to jaw posture in sports dentistry.
TLDR
Although it would appear that designing a study that would please both clinician and researcher would be a difficult task, studies have been performed that do meet the "gold standard"; and the results favor the premise that jaw repositioning can enhance appendage muscular strength and athletic performance.
The Relationship between Forward Scapular Posture and Posterior Shoulder Tightness among Baseball Players
TLDR
The results suggest that posterior shoulder tightness as evidenced by decreased glenohumeral horizontal adduction range of motion may be considered a partial predictor for excessive forward scapular posture and vice versa.
