    Objective: To investigate the associations of glenohumeral internal (IR) and external rotation (ER), horizontal adduction (HA), and thoracic spine rotation ranges of motion (ROM), isometric muscle strength of the shoulder rotators, and trunk muscle endurance with the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST), the Upper Quarter Y Balance Test (YBT-UQ), and the Upper Limb Rotation Test (ULRT) in overhead athletes. Design: Cross-sectional study. Settings: Laboratory. Participants: One hundred twenty-one athletes were enrolled. Main outcome measures: Independent variables were: IR, ER, HA, and thoracic spine rotation ROMs, isometric muscle strength of glenohumeral IR and ER muscles, and trunk muscle endurance. Dependent variables were: CKCUEST, YBT-UQ, ULRT. Results: IR ROM of the nondominant side was associated with the CKCUEST, the YBT-UQ, and the ULRT. IR muscle strength of the dominant side was associated with the CKCUEST and the ULRT. Trunk flexor and lateral endurance of the dominant side were associated with the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ, respectively. Conclusions: Many of the physical parameters influencing scores on the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ are different. Common parameters influence the CKCUEST and ULRT scores, yet more parameters influence the CKCUEST score. We suggest the combined use of the CKCUEST and the YBT-UQ in overhead athletes.
