The Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) is a tool developed and used in the clinic to evaluate progress during upper extremity rehabilitation. A need exists for reference values of CKCUEST for use in a clinical setting.
To calculate reference values for the CKCUEST that may assist clinicians in developing goals and objectives for male collegiate baseball players who are recovering from injuries to the upper extremity. To determine if differences exist in scores according to playing position.
The sample consisted of 77 collegiate, male baseball players between the ages of 18 and 22 who reported no recent history of injuries to the shoulder, elbow, or the hand-wrist complex. The CKCUEST was administered three times to the athletes and the number of touches when performing the CKCUEST during the 15-second test was measured and recorded. An average of the three tests was used for data analysis.
No significant differences existed according to playing position. The data did not differ from the normal distribution; therefore, reference values were calculated and reported for use by clinicians in development of goals and objectives for this population.
The CKCUEST appears to be a clinically useful test for upper extremity function.
闭合动力链上肢稳定性测试（CKCUEST）是一种在临床上开发和使用的工具，用于评估上肢康复过程中的进展情况。临床环境中需要CKCUEST的参考值。
计算CKCUEST的参考值，以帮助临床医生为从上肢损伤中恢复的男性大学棒球运动员制定目标。确定根据比赛位置得分是否存在差异。
样本包括77名年龄在18至22岁之间的大学男性棒球运动员，他们报告近期没有肩部、肘部或手腕复合体受伤史。对运动员进行了三次CKCUEST测试，并测量和记录了在15秒测试期间进行CKCUEST时的触摸次数。使用三次测试的平均值进行数据分析。
根据比赛位置不存在显著差异。数据与正态分布无差异；因此，计算并报告了参考值，供临床医生为该人群制定目标时使用。
CKCUEST似乎是一种临床上用于评估上肢功能的有用测试。
