First, the authors evaluated the effect of increasing scapular IR on maximum GHER and forearm angle (forearm axis relative to the ground). Each parameter was evaluated at 20\u00b0 to 40\u00b0 (5\u00b0 increments) of scapular IR by applying 2.2-N\u00b7m external rotation torque to the humerus and 0.75-N\u00b7m valgus torque to the forearm. Next, to evaluate elbow valgus stability, the humerus was locked in maximal GHER at 40\u00b0 of scapular IR, and sequentially increasing torque (0.75-7.5 N\u00b7m by 0.75-N\u00b7m increments) was applied to the forearm. Valgus angle and joint gap were evaluated at each torque.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Increases in scapular IR \u22655\u00b0 significantly decreased GHER ( P &lt; .01). With increasing valgus torque, forearm angle also increased linearly ( R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      = 0.85, P &lt; .001). To compensate for the GHER deficit at 40\u00b0 of scapular IR, a linear regression model showed that 25.3 N\u00b7m of valgus torque would be necessary to reach the original forearm position. In the intact condition, applying elbow valgus torque \u22655.25 N\u00b7m significantly increased valgus angle and the joint gap ( P &lt; .01).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Increased scapular IR significantly decreased GHER.
