Posterior shoulder tightness is a problem in many patients with shoulder pain. Tightness manifests as decreased ROM caused by loss of posterior capsule or posterior shoulder muscle flexibility. The posterior capsule often loses flexibility in throwing athletes and may also be present in patients with impingement symptoms. A valid and reliable measurement of posterior capsule tightness is critical to making informed decisions about interventions to improve capsule flexibility. Low Flexion (LF) is a new test shown to be valid for assessing change in posterior capsule flexibility.
