Abstract
Purpose: Shoulder impairments and injuries are highly prevalent in athletes, with prevalence reported in badminton players and swimmers as 52% and 65% respectively. With recurrence rates of 73% and current management approaches having at best mild to moderate effects further research is required. Recently, interventions targeting the thoracic spine, known to be required for functional upper limb movements have shown favorable improvements in shoulder pain and motion. Knowledge of thoracic spine mobility during functional shoulder movement offers new directions for practice and research in shoulder impairments in athletes.
