    Abstract

    Posterior shoulder tightness (PST) has been implicated in the etiology of numerous shoulder disorders. Individuals participating in overhead sports and weight training have a predilection for PST, thus a measurement designed to identify PST may offer considerable prescriptive utility. This column presents 2 valid and reliable methods for quantifying PST.
