Musculoskeletal injuries are prevalent in the NBA and are associated with a significant number of games missed. There is a lack of reference data for clinical measures in NBA players, making it difficult for sports medicine professionals to set goals and develop programs.
Values for clinical measures in NBA players will differ from those of the general population but will not differ between dominant (D) and nondominant (ND) limbs.
Descriptive laboratory study.
Level 3.
Clinical measures were taken on 325 players invited to NBA training camp (2008-2022). Measures included range of motion for great toe extension, hip rotation, weightbearing ankle dorsiflexion, flexibility, arch height (AH) indices, and tibial varum.
Clinical values for NBA players differ from reference norms of the general population. Results for NBA players include great toe extension (D, 40.4°; ND, 39.3°), 90/90 hamstring (D, 41.5°; ND, 40.9°), hip internal rotation (D, 29.0°; ND, 28.8°), hip external rotation (D, 29.7°; ND, 30.9°), total hip rotation (D, 60.2°; ND, 60.4°), Ely (D, 109.9°; ND, 108.8°), AH difference (D, 0.5 mm; ND, 0.5 mm), AH index (D, 0.310; ND, 0.307), arch stiffness (D, 0.024; ND, 0.024), arch rigidity (D, 0.924; ND, 0.925), tibial varum (D, 4.6°; ND, 4.5°), and weightbearing ankle dorsiflexion (D, 35.4°; ND, 35.6°). Descriptive statistics are presented; 2-tailed paired tests show that, whereas most measures demonstrated differences between sides, the results were not statistically significant.
Clinical measures of NBA players differ from those reported for the general population and athletes of other sports although there were no statistically significant differences between D and ND limbs.
Establishing a reference database may help clinicians develop more sensitive and more effective preseason and return-to-play screening processes, aiding the management of player orthopaedic care and reducing injury risk.
肌肉骨骼损伤在NBA中很常见，且与大量缺阵比赛相关。NBA球员缺乏临床测量的参考数据，这使得运动医学专业人员难以设定目标并制定方案。
NBA球员的临床测量值将与普通人群不同，但优势（D）肢和非优势（ND）肢之间不会有差异。
描述性实验室研究。
3级。
对受邀参加NBA训练营（2008 - 2022年）的325名球员进行临床测量。测量包括拇趾背伸活动度、髋关节旋转、负重踝关节背屈、柔韧性、足弓高度（AH）指数和胫骨内翻。
NBA球员的临床值与普通人群的参考标准不同。NBA球员的测量结果包括拇趾背伸（D侧，40.4°；ND侧，39.3°）、90/90腘绳肌（D侧，41.5°；ND侧，40.9°）、髋关节内旋（D侧，29.0°；ND侧，28.8°）、髋关节外旋（D侧，29.7°；ND侧，30.9°）、全髋关节旋转（D侧，60.2°；ND侧，60.4°）、伊利试验（D侧，109.9°；ND侧，108.8°）、AH差值（D侧，0.5毫米；ND侧，0.5毫米）、AH指数（D侧，0.310；ND侧，0.307）、足弓刚度（D侧，0.024；ND侧，0.024）、足弓刚性（D侧，0.924；ND侧，0.925）、胫骨内翻（D侧，4.6°；ND侧，4.5°）和负重踝关节背屈（D侧，35.4°；ND侧，35.6°）。给出了描述性统计数据；双侧配对t检验表明，虽然大多数测量显示两侧存在差异，但结果无统计学意义。
NBA球员的临床测量值与普通人群及其他运动项目运动员的测量值不同，尽管D肢和ND肢之间无统计学显著差异。
建立参考数据库可能有助于临床医生制定更敏感、更有效的季前赛和重返赛场筛查流程，有助于球员骨科护理管理并降低受伤风险。
