Functional return-to-play assessment requirements

Test	Goal	Pass
a. Overhand band reach	Demonstrate functional rotator cuff activity throughout multiplanar range of motion while avoiding trapezius dominance, trunk lean, and pelvic tilt	Maintain stability
b. Closed kinetic chain extremity stability test (CKCUEST)	Measure speed, agility, and power	21 touches (male), 23 touches (female), 15 seconds
c. Upper extremity Y balance	Using the operative arm as a stabilizer, test mobility and stability of the extremity and core; combines scapular stability and functional range of motion with core stabilization and thoracic rotation	3 consecutive progressions
d. One-arm hop test	Focus on stable core, maximum assessment of strength, and neuromuscular coordination	5 repetitions
e. Posterior Shoulder Endurance Test (PSET)	Assess posterior rotator cuff and deltoid strength	85% of contralateral arm
f. Trunk stability push-up	Stabilize spine and hips in sagittal plane during upper body symmetrical motion	3 repetitions with control
g. Long arm plank ball tap	Assess stability, proprioception, and endurance	10 bidirectional taps with body control
h. Plank weight stacking	Using the operative arm as a stabilizer, assess both proprioception and stability of the core and scapula	4 repetitions × 1 lb
