“…So this confirms that stable proximal shoulder girdle leads to optimal recruitment of hand muscles and explains the positive correlation that found between the hand grip strength and the isokinetic peak torque of shoulder stabilizing muscles in adults and in stroke patients [37,21]. Hodder and Keir [38] stated that during gripping a motor control command evoked and draw out activity in the proximal shoulder muscles. These make it feasible to train and strength shoulder muscles to improve power of hand grip.…”

Background Children with Down syndrome (DS) are characterized by hypotonia resulting in reduced grip and pinch strength. This study aimed to investigate the influence of shoulder stabilization exercises on hand grip strength in children with Down syndrome. Thirty children with DS assigned randomly into 2 groups each group consists of 15 children. Handheld Dynamometer was used to measure grip strength and different pinch grasps for both groups before and after treatment. Both groups receive the same vocational school activities and the study group receives shoulder stabilization exercises for 3 months. Results Results revealed significant increase in the grip strength and different pinch grasps for dominant and non-dominant hands post-treatment in both groups as the main effect of time was statistically significant. Study group showed significant improvement than the control group post-treatment as the main effect of group and time × group interaction effect was statistically significant for dominant and non-dominant hands. Conclusion Shoulder stabilization exercises and regular vocational school activities have a positive effect on different grip strength in children with Down syndrome. Trial registration PACTR201907896910981. Registered 5 July 2019. A written consent form was introduced to all participant and signed by their parents.

“…Grip strength relates to a function of the upper limb muscles due to the chain of force transmission from the forearm to the shoulder [1,7]. In this study, we found that there was no significant difference in grip strength according to experience.…”

“…Impingement between the greater tubercle of the humerus and the glenoid fossa of scapula can occur when a pitcher raises the upper limb horizontally, which is considered a normal physiological movement. With overhead throwing motion, the intensity of such impingement increases and possibly leads to pathological internal impingement syndrome [7]. In addition, lesions of the posterior supraspinatus or anterior infraspinatus tendons are occasionally detected using arthroscopy in players who frequently practice overhead throwing [10].…”

BACKGROUND: A decrease in the range of internal rotation known as glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) which caused by repetitive overhead throwing is known to take place in elite baseball players. However few attempts at studying the differences in the range of motion (ROM), muscle strength, and endurance according to the duration of the involvement of players have been made. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the difference in ROM, muscle strength, endurance of shoulder among amateur pitchers. METHOD: Forty-two right-handed amateur pitchers in their 20 s and 30 s, with similar physical characteristics participated in the study. They were divided into three groups according to their pitching experience. Range of motion, shoulder external and internal strength and endurance and grip strength were measured and compared. RESULTS: The ROM was significantly different among the 3 groups (P < 0.05), especially with respect to external rotation, internal rotation, and external rotation on side-lying. The peak torque of the right external rotators differed significantly between 2 and 3 year experience groups (P < 0.05). Further, the peak torque and the endurance of external rotator significantly differed between dominant and non-dominant shoulders in between 1 year group and 2 years group (P < 0.05). In external rotation endurance, there were significant differences between the 1 and 2 years groups, and between the 2 and 3 years group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, repetitive overhead throwing for more than a year caused structural changes in shoulder joints, which were possible responsible for changes in the range of motion and decrease external rotators performance. Such changes in the shoulder could generate a pattern shift in motion and cause secondary injuries such as internal impingement syndrome.

“…Previous studies establish a neuromechanical relationship between shoulder and hand; for example, Alenabi et al (2013) who demonstrated the presence of activity in the shoulder musculature during ipsilateral elbow, wrist, and finger movements. Others as Labriola et al (2005) , Antony and Keir (2010) , and Hodder and Keir (2012) found alterations in muscle activity patterns with a redistribution of force in the rotator cuff muscles during gripping, suggesting coactivation of the proximal and distal arm muscles indicating postural activation in the proximal shoulder muscles. It is feasible that changes in grasp that occurs during wrist immobilization, modifies activity of the rotator cuff ( Hodder and Keir, 2012 ).…”

The main goal of this study was to determinate the extent of the relationship between shoulder pain and time of wrist and thumb immobilization required after injury. One hundred twenty-three consecutive subjects presenting to the practice of different Orthopedic Specialist hospitals with a diagnosis of distal radius or scaphoid fracture that required wrist and thumb immobilization were screened for eligibility criteria. Upper extremity pain and the need for shoulder rehabilitation were assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS) at baseline after immobilization period (T0) 1- and 3-month follow-up (1-FU/2-FU). More than 35% patients had shoulder pain (VAS>40 mm) after immobilization of the wrist. Shoulder pain intensity after immobilization and at follow-up (1 and 3 months) was strongly correlated with the duration of the immobilization. Immobilization for 3.5 weeks or longer was the strongest predictor for the need of subsequent shoulder rehabilitation. An increased the time of immobilization of the wrist is associated with an increase in shoulder pain and need for shoulder rehabilitation in patients after wrist fracture.
