We evaluated baseball players in little league at medical check-ups including examination of shoulder joint, and elucidate the relationship between elbow disorders and Hara test. In this study, 75 baseball players in little league were evaluated form 2003 to 2006. The mean age of subjects was 11 years old ranging from 9 to 13. At medical check-ups, a specific medical examination (Haras test)of the shoulder joint proposed by Haras test was performed on each subject. The shoulder scores (total 11 points) by Haras test in the group without elbow pain or elbow injury with throwing side averaged 8.6 points for the throwing side and 8.8 points for the non-throwing side. On the other hand, the shoulder scores in the other group with elbow pain or elbow injury averaged 7.0 points for the throwing side and 8.6 points for the non-throwing side. There were statistical differences between the throwing side in both groups. The significant relations between elbow pain or injury and Haras test were as follows: SSc test; ISP test; elbow extension test (ET). The medical check-ups could provide a good opportunity for baseball players and coaches to understand the prevention of sports injuries.The specific test for shoulder joint was useful for detecting not only shoulder joint problems but also concealed elbow joint injury.
