A Screening Test to Determine Shoulder Stability in Adolescent Male Rugby Union Players: A Feasibility Study
The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of a shoulder screening test to predict shoulder stability in adolescent rugby union players. Adolescent male rugby union players (n=27) aged 12-18 years were recruited from secondary schools in metropolitan Sydney. Measures of shoulder strength, active joint range of movement and joint hypermobility were recorded. The protocol used in this study was feasible for both participants and examiners. This screening test could be used to identify potential risk factors for shoulder injury.
