Glenohumeral Range of Motion Deficits and Posterior Shoulder Tightness in Throwers with Pathologic Internal Impingement (2006, background): “It can be concluded based on the results of several studies that throwers demonstrate significantly increased glenohumeral external rotation (external rotation gain) and significantly decreased glenohumeral internal rotation (glenohumeral internal rotation deficit [GIRD]) in the throwing arm.(1,2,5,”
Current Concepts in the Rehabilitation of the Overhead Throwing Athlete (2002, background): “We believe that the loss of internal rotation is due to osseous adaptation of the humerus and posterior muscle tightness.(21) We do not believe that the loss of internal rotation is routinely due to posterior capsular tightness.”
Effect of Pitch Type, Pitch Count, and Pitching Mechanics on Risk of Elbow and Shoulder Pain in Youth Baseball Pitchers (2002, background): “For example, Crockett et al.(6) demonstrated that the extraordinary range of shoulder external rotation present in successful professional pitchers is due to adaptations in the growth of the humerus from repetitive loading during pitching in childhood.”
