Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
The shoulder is one of the most commonly injured joints among overhead athletes playing volleyball, tennis, swimming, baseball or softball. A potential mechanism contributing to shoulder injuries in overhead throwing athletes involves limitations in the range of motion (ROM) of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. Glenohumeral internal rotation deficit (GIRD) is defined as a loss in degrees of GH internal rotation (IR) of the throwing shoulder compared with the non-throwing shoulder. The substantial speeds and forces occurring at the posterior shoulder during the deceleration phase may result in altered GH joint ROM and posterior shoulder tightness in throwing athletes. Adaptive changes to bone and soft tissue believed to occur as a result of the repetitive throwing motion contribute to the presence of GIRD. Therefore, soft tissue tightness of the posterior shoulder can result in decreased GH IR, reduced horizontal adduction and a higher risk of injury, such as superior labral lesions, subacromial impingement and pathological internal impingement in the throwing shoulder. Several studies have shown that osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can represent a useful therapeutic approach for overhead sports, particularly in the preventive phase with asymptomatic athletes. Muscle energy and myofascial release techniques have proven effective in reducing posterior soft tissues tightness and increasing shoulder IR. According to previous results, a reduction in GIRD following the application of osteopathic techniques may prevent injury and improve pain and function in overhead throwing athletes.
