Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1292-3163 A comparative study on shoulder pain, function, range of motion, and structure between handball players and non-throwing subjects 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted BACKGROUND: Shoulder injuries are common in throwing athletes, however differences in shoulder pain, function, mobility, and structure compared with non-throwing subjects remain unclear. This study aimed to compare different variables related to pain, function, shoulder mobility, and anterior capsule-ligament complex thickness between handball players and a control group. METHODS: Fourteen handball players and seventeen control subjects were recruited (mean age 23.6±1.9 years). Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at 4 different moments, DASH Score, shoulder external and internal active ROM, anterior glenohumeral gliding, posterior glenohumeral gliding, anterior capsule-ligament complex thickness, and pressure pain thresholds (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, teres major, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major) were measured. RESULTS: Handball players demonstrated higher values in VAS “pain right now” (P=0.037), VAS “average pain” (P<0.001), and VAS “at its worst” (P=0.012). Additionally, handball players evidenced higher DASH Scores than the control group (P=0.016) and significantly lower internal rotation ROM (P=0.004). CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that handball players present more pain intensity, worse shoulder function with higher scores at the DASH questionnaire, and a reduction in active internal rotation ROM in the throwing-arm compared to non-throwing people. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.116 2022 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2022 Q4 0.2 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Cardiel-Sánchez, Silvia Fanlo-Mazas, Pablo Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3472-072X Ruiz-De-Escudero-Zapico, Alazne Viorreta-Pintanel, Patricia Malo-Urriés, Miguel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-9080-0543 1006 413 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
