Throwing movements require the participation of all components of the kinetic chain to reduce risk for shoulder overuse. Thus, limited lower limb range of motion or weakness has been identified as a risk factor for shoulder pain in overhead athletes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Purpose<\/jats:title>\n This systematic review aims to evaluate the association between shoulder, trunk, and lower limb pain in overhead athletes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Study Design<\/jats:title>\n Systematic Review and Meta-analysis<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A systematic review was conducted in the PubMed\/MEDLINE, Science Direct and CENTRAL\/Cochrane databases for observational studies. Search terms included sports-related terms (e.g., \u2018overhead\u2019, \u2018baseball\u2019, \u2018volleyball\u2019, \u2018handball\u2019) and injury-related terms (e.g., \u2018injury history\u2019, \u2018shoulder pain\u2019, \u2018lower limb pain\u2019, \u2018hip pain\u2019, \u2018knee pain\u2019, \u2018ankle pain\u2019, \u2018foot pain\u2019, \u2018trunk pain\u2019). Studies were considered for review if they met the following criteria: inclusion of overhead athletes, investigation of injury or pain in shoulder and lower limb or trunk, had data related to or could calculate the calculation of odds ratio (OR) or relative risk (RR), available in French or English. The ROBINS-E tool was used to assess the methodological quality of each article. The data were pooled in a random-effects meta-analysis, using odds ratios to estimate the strength of the association between shoulder pain and pain at other locations.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n Seven articles were included. Five of them were at moderate risk of bias and two were at high risk of bias. Shoulder pain was associated with low back pain (OR=5.51), hip pain (OR=4.32), knee pain (OR=3.03) and ankle\/foot pain (OR=2.84).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n This systematic review highlighted, with very low to low certainty, a significant association between shoulder pain and trunk\/lower limb pain or injuries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n Level 3<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.26603\/001c.125882","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,30]],"date-time":"2024-11-30T19:57:24Z","timestamp":1732996644000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Relationship between Shoulder Pain, Trunk and Lower Limb Pain in Overhead Athletes: A Systematic Review with Meta-analysis"],"prefix":"10.26603","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Marine","family":"Leroux","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"SFMKS Lab"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Franck","family":"Lagniaux","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SFMKS Lab"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"11140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"14","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3652","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546520910138","article-title":"Regional interdependence and the role of the lower body in elbow injury in baseball players: A systematic review","volume":"48","author":"M.
