The Reliability and Validity of a Clinical Measurement Proposed to Quantify Humeral Torsion

# Background Range of motion (ROM) impairments of the overhead athletes' shoulder are commonly addressed through mobility-based treatments, however, adaptations from humeral torsion (HT) are not amenable to such interventions. A clinical measurement to quantify HT has been proposed, however, t...
