Objectives: The Upper Quarter Y Balance Test (UQYBT) is a reliable upper extremity closed kinetic chain test that can be used to assess unilateral upper extremity performance in a closed chain manner. However, UQYBT was tested only in recreational athletes and there are no studies investigating UQYBT scores in patients with various upper extremity musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in performance on the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test between patient with shoulder impingement syndrome and healthy controls. Methods: A sample of fifteen patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (mean age 32.2±4.2 years) and fifteen healthy control (mean age 33.8±6.2 years) performed the UQYBT. UQYBT was collected bilaterally in three directions (medial, inferolateral, and superolateral). The maximum reach distance for each direction was normalized to upper extremity length (spinous process of C7 to tip of middle finger) and used for analysis Results: A significant difference in performance between patients with shoulder impingement syndrome and healthy controls existed in the medial direction (P<0.05) and the inferolateral direction (P<0.05) where the healthy controls performed better. There was no significant difference in superolateral performance. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that patients with shoulder impingement syndrome will perform worse on the UQYBT in the medial and inferolateral directions than healthy controls. Thus, upper extremity closed kinetic chain exercises should be added in shoulder rehabilitation programs.

When the upper extremity is injured, open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises are primarily used to increase strength and restore functional ability—the goals of rehabilitation. It is also imperative, however, that the receptors responsible for static and dynamic stabilization of the joint be trained. This can be done with closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises. The purposes of this study were to investigate the effect of a 4-week CKC training program on the neuromuscular control of the upper extremity and to determine whether there was a significant difference between skill-dominant limb and nondominant limb stability indices. Thirty-two physically active participants (14 men, 18 women) were tested on the FASTEX 4 weeks apart. The training group's scores significantly improved, whereas the control group's scores remained the same. It was concluded that the CKC training significantly improved the training group's ability to remain stable. The results suggest that CKC training can increase the accuracy of joint position sense because of increased stimulation of the mechanoreceptors.

Context: Volleyball and handball players have usually been studied collectively as “overhead athletes,” since throwing present similarities in the proximal to distal movement sequencing and upper limb joints ranges of motion. However, each sport presents specificities in the objectives when accelerating the ball and a variety of possible throwing techniques. Therefore, it is expected there may be differences in the shoulder and upper body physical performance between sports. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine if there are differences in shoulder muscle strength and upper body field performance tests between volleyball and handball athletes. Design: Cross-sectional. Methods: Ninety-nine volleyball and handball female athletes aged between 13 and 20 years were evaluated for isometric shoulder abductor and rotator strength (handheld dynamometer) and upper body field performance tests: Y Balance Test—Upper Quarter, modified Closed Kinetic Chain Upper-Extremity Stability Test, and unilateral and bilateral Seated Medicine Ball Throw. Results: Handball athletes presented greater shoulder internal rotation strength (between-group difference: 2.84; effect size 0.70), higher medial (between-group difference: 9.54; effect size 0.90), superolateral (between-group differences: 8.9; effect size 0.68), and composite scores (between-group difference 5.7; effect size 0.75) of the Y Balance Test—Upper Quarter and higher unilateral (between-group difference: 41.92; effect size 0.91) and bilateral (between-group difference: 46.11; effect size 0.83) Seated Medicine Ball Throw performance. Groups were not different for Closed Kinetic Chain Upper-Extremity Stability Test, external rotation, and abduction isometric strength. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that young female handball athletes present greater internal rotator strength and better performance in Y Balance Test—Upper Quarter and Seated Medicine Ball Throw compared to volleyball players. These differences may be related to the different demands required in the throwing movements performed in each sport and should be considered when assessing these populations.

The Relationship

Objectives: Little is known about the relationship between core stability and shoulder dysfunction in shoulder impingement syndrome. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference between healthy volunteers and patients with shoulder dysfunction in regard to core stability measures. Secondary purpose was to explore the relationship between measures of core stability and measures of shoulder dysfunction. Methods: 15 patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (mean age: 32.2±4.2 years) and 15 healthy volunteers (mean age: 33.8±6.2 years) participated in this study. Sorenson test, front plank and side bridge exercise was performed to assess anterior, lateral and posterior core endurance, respectively. Simple shoulder test (SSS) and seated medicine ball throw test was used to evaluate the functions of the shoulder joints. Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of variables between groups. Analyses of relationships between variables were examined with Spearman correlation test. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between patients with shoulder impingement syndrome and healthy controls in core stability and function (p<0.05). A strong positive correlation was found between shoulder functional test (SSS) and lateral bridge test (r= .874, p < .05). Additionally, a modest positive correlation was found between the SSS and the Sorenson test at (r= .695, p < .05), and a weak positive correlation was found between the SSS and the front plank test at (r= .365, p < .05). Conclusion: Core stability and functional deficiency was found in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. According to this study, greater shoulder dysfunction is correlated with greater stability deficiency. Therapists should consider incorporating core strengthening as an integral component of rehabilitation program in patients with shoulder dysfunction.

The upper quarter Y-balance test is an upper extremity, closed kinetic chain assessment that requires individuals to reach in three directions while in a three-point plank position. The upper quarter Y-balance test was performed in 22 collegiate softball players (19.95 ± 1.52 years) to determine the (a) differences between throwing and nonthrowing (NT) sides and (b) influence of reach sequence. While stabilizing on the NT side, participants reached significantly further in the inferolateral direction than the throwing side (NT: 83.7 ± 12.2% arm length; throwing: 80.1 ± 10.5% arm length; p = .03; effect size = −0.57). Altering reach sequence significantly influenced medial reach (p < .01, effect size = 0.66) and composite score (p = .017, effect size = 1.03) when stabilizing on the NT side. Asymmetries in upper quarter Y-balance test in collegiate softball players should be interpreted cautiously, and an ordered test sequence should be consistently followed.

Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) occurs due to the mechanical traumaric from the rotator cuff tendon located in the antero-inferior part of the acromion and clamping due to the shoulder movement position of flexion and internal shoulder rotation. This study aims to prove the enhancement of functional ability by providing combination of caudal traction and mobilization with movement compared with caudal traction and scapular stability exercise. The design of this study is pre test-post test group design. The number of group I sample of 8 patients was given intervention with caudal traction and mobilization with movement combination 3 times a week for 2 weeks, then in group II 8 patients were given combination of caudal traction and scapular stability exercise also performed 3 times a week for 2 week. Functional capacity improvement tests using Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Data were analyzed using statistical program for social science (SPSS) version 18.0. The results showed: (1) There was improvement of functional ability in group I, mean (%) pre 70.352 ± 5.132, and post 10.466 ± 0.517. The result of t-test related shows p value =< 0.001 (p <0,05). (2) There is improvement of functional ability in group II, mean (%) pre 69.727 ± 2.212, and post 21.961 ± 4.251. The result of t-test related shows p value = <0.001 (p <0.05). (3) There are significant differences in Group I and Group II. The result of pre-pre comparative test with independent t-test show p value = 0,605. And result of post-post comparative test with independent t-test shows p value = <0.001 (p <0.05). It was concluded that the combination of caudal traction and mobilization with movement with caudal traction and scapular stability exercise could improve functional ability in external impingement syndrome. There is a significant difference in functional enhancement between caudal traction and mobilization with movement combinations with a combination of caudal traction and scapular stability exercise.
