Thinking outside the shoulder: A systematic review and metanalysis of kinetic chain characteristics in non-athletes with shoulder pain.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The kinetic chain is important in the proximal-distal energy transfer along body segments. Although biomechanical impairments in components of the kinetic chain have already been reported in athletes with shoulder pain, such investigations in non-athlete individuals have not yet been synthesized.

Objective

To systematically review the literature and analyze the quality of evidence on the characteristics of the kinetic chain of non-athletes with shoulder pain compared to asymptomatic individuals.

Methods

Studies published until February 2024 (without language restrictions) that quantitatively assessed outcomes related to the kinetic chain of non-athlete individuals were searched in five databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, EMBASE, and SCOPUS). The r
