The Use of a Handheld Ultrasound Device to Measure Humeral Retrotorsion in Baseball and Softball Athletes: A Validation Study
Our study showed that HH-US provides a reliable and valid measurement of aHRT in comparison to MSK-US and may be an accessible option for clinicians evaluating overhead athletes. Given its strong agreement with established methods, HH-US offers an efficient and cost-effective alternative to MSK-US when measuring aHRT in baseball and softball athletes.
