There is a lack of objective tools to assess functional shoulder stability in sports with high demands on the upper limb. This cross-sectional study recruited twenty healthy adults to analyze the use of a force platform in a push-up analysis as a valid tool for estimating glenohumeral stability. For this purpose, the subjects performed one strength task based on a maximum lateral abduction against a dynamometer. They also performed three variations of a push-up task on force plates with movements recorded by a 3D motion capture system. The results showed that healthy adults present similar movement patterns during push-ups, without differences in terms of stability between sexes, although males showed greater values in lateral abduction strength (left: 63.2 vs. 36.8; p &lt; 0.001; right: 64.2 vs. 38.9; p &lt; 0.001) and ground reaction force peak in the three push-up tasks (p &lt; 0.005). Moreover, four prediction models were developed based on the use of force plate data to estimate kinematics concerning humerus acceleration (p &lt; 0.001). In conclusion, this research demonstrated that force plates are a valid tool for upper-limb assessment with significant correlations with dynamometer and 3D motion capture measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s25175333","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,28]],"date-time":"2025-08-28T09:31:12Z","timestamp":1756373472000},"page":"5333","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["In Vivo (In)Stability Shoulder Assessment in Healthy Active Adults Using Force Plates and a Motion Capture System: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9852-6053","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Ram\u00edrez-P\u00e9rez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Clinimetric Group F-14, The Institute of Biomedical Research in M\u00e1laga (IBIMA, BIONAND Platform), University of M\u00e1laga, C\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa 3, 29071 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3216-7521","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric Yung-Sheng","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Faculty of Health, ARC ITTC for Joint Biomechanics, Centre for Biomedical Technology, Queensland University of Technology, 2 George St, Brisbane City, QLD 4000, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8880-4315","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Antonio Ignacio","family":"Cuesta-Vargas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physiotherapy, Clinimetric Group F-14, The Institute of Biomedical Research in M\u00e1laga (IBIMA, BIONAND Platform), University of M\u00e1laga, C\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa 3, 29071 M\u00e1laga, Spain"},{"name":"School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Faculty of Health, ARC ITTC for Joint Biomechanics, Centre for Biomedical Technology, Queensland University of Technology, 2 George St, Brisbane City, QLD 4000, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Graham K.","family":"Kerr","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences, Faculty of Health, ARC ITTC for Joint Biomechanics, Centre for Biomedical Technology, Queensland University of Technology, 2 George St, Brisbane City, QLD 4000, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e10","DOI":"10.1097\/JSA.0000000000000202","article-title":"Anatomy and Physical Examination of the Shoulder","volume":"26","author":"Bakhsh","year":"2018","journal-title":"Sports Med.
