The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationbetween internal (IR) and external rotations (ER) strength of the shoulder and shoulder pain during throwing in high school baseball pitchers. Internal and external rotation strength of the shoulder were measured in 401 high school pitchers, who had attended the national inter high school baseball tournament in Japan, and the influence of internal and external rotation strength of shoulder on shoulder pain during the throwing were assessed. The average IR and ER strength were 105.3+/-32.2N and 93.1+/-28.3N. The average IR. ER, and ER/IR ratio were 1.18+/-0.22,0.98+/-0.14, and 0.92+/-027, respectively, in all pitchers. All pitchers were classified into two groups. The pain experienced group (P group), which involved the pitchers who had experienced shoulder pain during throwing prolonged more than one month within the year, included 40 pitchers, and the other group (NP group) included 361 pitchers. The IR, ER, IR ratio, ER ratio, and ER/IR ratio were compared between both groups. The ER/IR ratio of the P group was lower than that of the NP group, with a statisticaldifference by unpaired student t-test (p=0.02). Pitchers with a low ER/IR ratio tend to injure their throwing shoulder and proper ER/IR ratio could be one of important condition for throwing shoulders.
