Table 2. Comparison of shoulder and hip rotation range of motion.

Results are presented as mean (standard deviation). *Statistically significant difference: P<0.05

GIRLoss: loss of glenohumeral internal rotation; GERInsufficiency: glenohumeral external-rotation insufficiency; TRMD: total rotational motion deficit; LBP: low-back pain; NLBP: non-low-back pain
