Full description

Upper Extremity Rotation Test is a new test the evaluates 90-90 position, which is one of the requirements for overhead throwing. The aim of the study was to evaluate the reliability of the Upper Extremity Rotation Test in overhead athletes and the relationship between the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test and the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test. Upper Extremity Rotation Test was found to be reliable in overhead athletes. Upper Extremity Rotation Test showed high reliability in overhead atheletes. There was no correlation between the Upper Exremity Rotation Test and the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test. A moderate corelation was found between the Upper Extremity Rotation Test and Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test.
