【 摘 要 】

Several glenohumeral joint (GHJ) positions have been recommended for assessing and correcting posterior shoulder tightness (PST) however, there is no agreement on which position is better for differentiating posterior muscle tightness from posterior capsular tightness. The purpose of this study was to compare the range of motion change before and after an external humeral rotator muscle fatigue protocol in order to identify a position that shows maximum range of motion change.
