Upper Extremity Asymmetries in Overhead Athletes

Sex: All

Ages: 15 Years – N/A

Healthy volunteers: Yes

Phase: NA

Enrollment: 58

Sponsor: Pamukkale University

Summary

Although overhead sports have different characteristics, the movements in the shoulder and upper extremity are similar. These sports may involve a combination of symmetrical, asymmetrical, bilateral and unilateral movements. In sports involving asymmetric movements, biomechanical changes are observed in that area due to the use of the dominant extremity. One of the reliable methods to reveal the stress effects caused by biomechanical stresses is to determine limb asymmetries. Considering the literature, limb asymmetries may be related to injury and performance.
