ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how differences between the right and left arms, known as limb asymmetries, can affect injuries and performance in athletes who play overhead sports, like baseball or tennis. The researchers want to understand how the physical demands of these sports may lead to changes in the body, especially in the shoulder area. By examining these differences, they hope to learn more about preventing injuries and improving athletic performance.
To participate in this study, you need to be at least 15 years old and actively training or competing in sports. If you've had a recent injury, you won't be eligible to join. If you choose to participate, you will undergo assessments that help measure any differences in strength or function between your arms. This information is important for both understanding sports injuries and helping athletes perform their best.
