Netball Case Study After Shoulder Stabilization Testing Results

Ben starts by mapping the sport's demands: moderate force, high speed, long lever and moderate repetition, with a 6 to 9 month return to sport after stabilization. Key measures are the apprehension test, the SIRSI confidence score, 90/90 internal rotation strength, overhead range and the ASH test, countermovement push-up and box drop land from about three to four months. Range returned slowly in the first two to three months and improved from four months. Rotation strength moved from the red into the green zone between four and six months with a ratio near one to one. The ASH I test showed good peak force relative to body weight but a slow build-up and late peak, so speed became the focus. The ASH T test showed very little force on the affected side, likely linked to apprehension in the position of injury. The countermovement push-up showed a good jump height but slow time to takeoff, low braking impulse and a shift toward the right arm. The first report rated range, cuff strength and force plate results as needing improvement.
