Physioter"],"abstract":"<jats:p>Background:\u00a0Recovery of overhead mobility after shoulder surgery is time-consuming and important for patient satisfaction. Overhead stretching and mobilization of the scapulothoracic and glenohumeral (GH) joints are common treatment interventions. The isolated GH range of motion (ROM) of flexion, abduction, and external rotation required to move above 120\u00b0 of global shoulder flexion in the clinical setting remains unclear. This study clarified the GH ROM needed for overhead mobility.\nMethods:\u00a0The timely development of shoulder ROM in patients after shoulder surgery was analyzed. Passive global shoulder flexion, GH flexion, abduction, and external rotation ROM were measured using goniometry and visually at 2-week intervals starting 6-week postsurgery until the end of treatment. Receiver operating characteristic curves were used to identify the GH ROM cutoff values allowing overhead mobility.\nResults:\u00a0A total of 21 patients (mean age 49 years; 76% men) after rotator cuff repair (71%), Latarjet shoulder stabilization (19%), and arthroscopic biceps tenotomy (10%) were included. The ROM cutoff value that accurately allowed overhead mobility was 83\u00b0 for GH flexion and abduction with the area under the curve (AUC) ranging from 0.90 to 0.93 (p &lt; 0.001). The cutoff value for GH external rotation was 53% of the amount of movement on the opposite side (AUC 0.87, p &lt; 0.001).\nConclusions:\u00a0Global shoulder flexion above 120\u00b0 needs almost full GH flexion and abduction to be executable. External rotation ROM seems less important as long as it reaches over 53% of the opposite side.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.33393\/aop.2024.3015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]],"date-time":"2024-08-27T07:02:58Z","timestamp":1724742178000},"page":"47-55","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Defining the glenohumeral range of motion required for overhead shoulder mobility: an observational study"],"prefix":"10.33393","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-1530-4879","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Linda","family":"Dyer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1111-9213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samy","family":"Bouaicha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1754-9206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jaap","family":"Swanenburg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0380-8801","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hermann","family":"Schwameder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"18642","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"12791","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Magermans DJ, Chadwick EK, Veeger HE, van der Helm FC.
