Abstract

One of the important concepts related to shoulder injury like the loss of shoulder motion was thoroughly discussed in the context of the overhead athlete. Gleno- humeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) in isolation is not a pathologic process. Throwers with GIRD frequently arrive at the clinic as a result of shoulder pathology developing. Intra-articular shoulder pathology (labrum, joint capsule, articular-sided rotator cuff), extra-articular shoulder pathology (bursal-sided rotator cuff, acromion), and pathology of the throwing kinetic chain (lower extremity, core, scapula, and elbow) comprise the pathologic process in throwing shoulders with GIRD. The overhead throwing motion is used in many common competitive and recreational sporting activities.
