Key result
A shoulder IR:ER strength ratio >1.00 was the strongest risk factor for dominant-shoulder injury, with a 79% increased risk for every 0.1 ratio increase in multivariate analysis (P=0.016).
Why the study?
Risk factors for dominant-shoulder injury within elite female cricket players were not well understood.
Population
115 elite female cricketers with a mean age of 26.0 years
Comparison
Physical performance and musculoskeletal screening tests associated with dominant-shoulder injury
Design
Prospective cohort study
Follow-up
2017-2018 season

Supports pre-season IR:ER screening in elite female cricketers; leaves open whether ratio modification reduces injury incidence.
Cohort (n=115)
Odds Ratio: 1.84
p-value: p=0.01
A shoulder IR:ER strength ratio >1.00 is the strongest risk factor for developing dominant-shoulder injury in elite female cricketers.
Murphy et al. (2020) conducted a cohort in Dominant-shoulder injury (n=115). Shoulder IR:ER strength ratio was evaluated on Dominant-shoulder injury (OR 1.84, p=0.01). A shoulder IR:ER strength ratio >1.00 was the strongest risk factor for dominant-shoulder injury, with a 79% increased risk for every 0.1 ratio increase in multivariate analysis (P=0.016).
