Comparison of glenohumeral joint kinematics between swimmers clinically classified with multidirectional instability and asymptomatic controls.

ABSTRACT: The clinical classification of glenohumeral joint instability is characterized by presumed increased humeral translations in conjunction with symptoms of instability. Prior research reports inconsistent kinematic differences in glenohumeral kinematics between individuals clinically classified with multidirectional instability and asymptomatic controls. Differing clinical classifications and motion tracking methods likely contribute to this gap. This analysis aimed to compare three-dimensional (3D) glenohumeral joint kinematics during active arm raising between individuals clinically classified with multidirectional instability and asymptomatic matched controls. Twenty competitive swimmers (13 female; mean age: 24.85; standard deviation (SD): 12.51) clinically classified with multidirection
