Background[edit | edit source]
Upper extremity injuries are common in overhead sports, however objective criteria to support back to sport decisions remains limited[1].In overhead, the shoulder and elbow are at higher risk of injury due to the high forces required to perform sport specific tasks.(Cain et al., 2003; Wright et al., 2018) cited in advances and Orthopedics and Sports Medicine)[1]. Overhead sports include but are not limited to basketball, water-polo, Javelin and volleyball.
Purpose[edit | edit source]
The athletic shoulder (ASH) test is used to assess and monitor the shoulder isometric strength of athletes during recovery[2]. It is a novel test developed by Ashworth et al. (2018) that focuses on rugby players at risk of shoulder injuries when performing long lever arm tackles.
Technique[edit | edit source]
Both upper extremities were tested to ensure accurate data between dominant and non dominant limbs.[1]
Starting Position : Prone on the floor with the forehead resting on a 4cm foam block and the hand placed on a vertical axis platform.
Procedure[2]:
The subject will push down from the shoulder in three consecutive test positions maximally for 3 seconds:
- I-test: Shoulder positioned in full abduction (180°), forearm in pronation and elbow in full extension. Contralateral arm at the side.
- Y-test: Shoulder positioned at 135°, forearm in pronation and elbow in full extension. The contralateral arm placed behind the back
- T-test: Shoulder positioned at 90°, forearm in pronation and elbow in full extension. The contralateral arm is placed behind the back.
Karlen-Jobe Functional Shoulder Test:
It's clinically relevant to aid in clearance of an athlete for return to overhead sports.
Shoulder testing positions included: I, Y, Internal rotation (IR), & External Rotation (ER) of the shoulder. It consists of 4 positions, 3 prone and 1 supine position.[1]
Evidence[edit | edit source]
The test demonstrates excellent reliability, but further studies are needed to assess its sensitivity[2]
- Interday reliability in all test positions (ICC 0.94–0.98)
- Absolute reliability (SEM 4.8–10.8)
- Interday measurement error was below 10% in all test positions (CV 5.0–9.9) except for non-dominant arm I-position (CV 11.3%)"
- Study
Summary[edit | edit source]
Using a force platform is considered the gold standard in assessing isometric force[4]. However, due to their cost and impracticality, other devices are studied as potential alternatives[5][6]. The Modified-Athletic Shoulder Test (M-AST) is a promising alternative, utilizing a handheld dynamometer for the easier test implementation. A strong concordance was found between ASH Test and M-AST values (ICC = 0.86–0.97; p > 0.05) in all the positions[6].
