- Abstract
Purpose: The aim was to investigate the upper extremity health profile and to analyze the effect of sports participation, sports type, and previous injury on the health profile in overhead athletes. Methods: One hundred and thirty-four competitive overhead athletes completed the survey. To evaluate pain existence and severity, disability and functional status the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) and the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Evaluation Form (ASES) were applied. Results: The upper extremity problems were present in 41.8% competitive overhead athletes. The DASH and ASES scores showed significant difference when subgroups of athletes compared based on their current level of play and previous injury history (p<0.05). Shoulder pain was the most common clinical presentation. Additionally, sport type and the duration of participation in professional sports did not affect upper extremity health status in overhead athletes (p>0.05). Conclusion: The interfering upper extremity problems such as rotator cuff tendiinopathy and instabilities were present in a substantial number of competitive overhead athletes. This study identified the upper extremity health profile in overhead athletes, thereby creating considerations for prevention sports-related upper extremity injuries.
