In addition, there was not a significant correlation between acromiohumeral distance and scapular upward rotation at rest and 90\u00b0 of abduction for either the dominant or the nondominant arm.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec sec-type=\"conclusions\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>These results indicate that the acromiohumeral distance is not adapting in the dominant arm in healthy throwing athletes. In addition, a relationship was not identified between acromiohumeral distance and scapular upward rotation, which was previously suggested. These results may suggest that changes that are typically seen in an injured population may be occurring due to the injury and are not preexisting. In addition, scapular upward rotation may not be the only contributing factor to acromiohumeral distance.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.22.3.216","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,8,10]],"date-time":"2016-08-10T12:27:32Z","timestamp":1470832052000},"page":"216-223","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Assessment of Subacromial Space and Its Relationship With Scapular Upward Rotation in College Baseball Players"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Stephen John","family":"Thomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles Buz","family":"Swanik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas W.","family":"Kaminski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jill S.","family":"Higginson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kathleen A.","family":"Swanik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Levon N.","family":"Nazarian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","container-title":["Journal of Sport Rehabilitation"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/jsr\/22\/3\/article-p216.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/downloadpdf\/journals\/jsr\/22\/3\/article-p216.xml","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,19]],"date-time":"2022-05-19T23:11:40Z","timestamp":1653001900000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.humankinetics.com\/view\/journals\/jsr\/22\/3\/article-p216.xml"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,8]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3"},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1123\/jsr.22.3.216","relation":{},"ISSN":["1056-6716","1543-3072"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1056-6716","type":"print"},{"value":"1543-3072","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,8]]}}}
