Throwing Shoulder Adaptations Are Not Related to Shoulder Injury or Pain: A Preliminary Report.

Background: Overhead throwing in baseball and softball athletes induces shoulder adaptations theorized to increase risk of shoulder musculoskeletal injury (MSI) and/or pain due to range of motion (ROM) deficits.

Hypothesis: Shoulder ROM adaptations are associated with a higher risk for developing shoulder MSI and pain.

Study Design: Prospective cohort study.
