“…Although greater humeral retrotorsion has been demonstrated to be associated with increased shoulder external rotation range of motion in throwing athletes, 6,8,40,45 a limitation of this study is that we did not measure shoulder rotational range of motion and, therefore, cannot directly confirm this relationship in the athletes investigated. In addition, the investigators were not blinded to approximate age, gender, or sporting participation of the subjects.…”

“…3,25,46 Having more dominantarm humeral retrotorsion has previously been shown to be associated with a lower incidence of throwing-arm injury 30 and reported as performance enhancing for throwing athletes, 44 but humeral torsion has not been investigated in swimmers. While humeral torsion influences shoulder rotational range of motion, 6,8,28,34,40 it is not routinely measured in these athletes, possibly because measurement of humeral torsion is thought to be complex, require expensive equipment, and involve exposure to the ionizing radiation H umeral torsion is the bony twist about the long axis of the humerus. 9 Having a greater amount of posterior twist of the proximal humerus, or "retrotorsion," results in more shoulder external rotational range of motion and a corresponding reduction in the amount of shoulder internal rotation.…”

“…The additional stress at the shoulder from pitching in games and practice may be another reason why humeral retrotorsion is greater in baseball players. 29 Previous authors 16,30,31 have identified the osseous component of humeral retroversion as a major contributor to ROM measures and suggested using a corrected-ROM measure to better assess the soft tissue restriction that is present. This adjustment has been proposed to isolate the total-ROM alterations in the shoulder that are attributed to soft tissue contracture or lengthening, as opposed to the traditional thought that all variations in ROM are caused by soft tissue differences.…”

“…8 Humeral retroversion involves rotational twisting of the long axis of the humerus, 3,5,9 which may play a role in ROM changes in these baseball athletes. Other researchers 3,5 have found that humeral retroversion is greater in the throwing arm compared with the nonthrowing arm in adult baseball athletes. However, data about ROM adaptations in youth baseball athletes are lacking, so it is unknown when humeral retroversion begins and how quickly it develops.…”
