Prevalência do Déficit de Rotação Interna Glenoumeral(GIRD) em atletas de handebol em um centro de treinamento de Teresina-PI

Abstract

Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD), although it does not have a consensual concept in the literature, is a condition in which the internal rotation angle of the dominant shoulder becomes smaller than that of the non-dominant shoulder, due to the torque, force and deceleration experienced by the shoulder in the throwing movement. Thus, the study aimed to investigate the prevalence of GIRD in handball athletes at a training center in Teresina-PI. For this purpose, data collection was performed using an inclinometer to measure the range of motion of the athletes' shoulders. In addition, a questionnaire was applied to obtain information about the individual profile of the participants. The collected data were organized and tabulated in Microsoft Excel and statistically analyzed using the JASP software. Thus, it was possible to observe that, of the 65 athletes evaluated, 42 had GIRD, 23 of which were anatomical (54.76%), 8 adaptive (19.04%) and 11 pathological (26.19%). It was also observed that there was no association between the deficit and the position (p 0.729), category (p 0.853) and pain (p 0.652), evidencing a high prevalence of this alteration, but without any relation to environmental variables.
