Manufacturing computationally designed wearables via 3D printing
Authors: LIGKA Panagiota
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Computational product design is a new trend that combines product design with CAD-based programming, thus the designer creates an application that can model a great deal of product alternatives. Every algorithm built is able to provide sophisticated geometries in 2D/3D and by changing a series of parameters to customize the design, based on the user demands and needs. The unusual geometries proposed can only be materialized by additive manufacturing technologies. The present paper follows a multidisciplinary approach by combining biomimetically inspired geometries with computational design and additive manufacturing. The transition from the digital modeling to the physical prototyping is facilitated by 3D printing, which allows for precise and customizable prototyping and production. The research asserts that the fusion of computational design and 3D printing enables wearable accessories to not only meet, but surpass conventional expectations. This innovative approach boosts human creativity but also integrates fashion and functionality, shaping a dynamic and interactive future landscape in the realm of designing products.
An industrial environment background noise reduction technique used in the measurements of the tapered roller bearings
Authors: SABO Bogdan Alexandru
Published: December 2024

Abstract. This paper investigates the feasibility of noise measurements for automotive tapered roller bearings in an industrial production facility. The European Union regulations regarding the NVH have indirectly led to improvements in the field of the bearings industry, affecting both industrial and automotive markets. To achieve the improvements of the bearings in terms of NVH, a new relevant study methodology must be explored. The goal of this study is to examine the technical possibilities of reducing industrial background noise by defining a relevant noise measurement in the production environment for tapered roller bearings. Each roller bearing production site has different sources of noise coming from various machines. Successfully measuring noise in automotive tapered roller bearings in production requires an enclosure where the production assemblies are not influenced by the background noise of the plant. The enclosure must be covered with isolation materials. Foams and sponges must be selected to achieve the desired noise attenuation in the target range of frequencies.
Shape accuracy and roughness optimization of a fashion button by utilizing 3D printing
Authors: KECHAGIAS John D.
Published: December 2024

Abstract. Thanks to the simplicity and low cost, the open chamber filament material extrusion process, also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF), has spread to customized applications in the fashion and textile industries. This work is an experimental optimization of a 3D printed button changing two primary parameters, the printing speed and temperature as predictors and surface and shape accuracy as performance measures. The results were processed with the analysis of means (ANOM), normalized according to the 'min-max' rule and finally optimized utilizing the weighted multi-objective approach and the 'minimum the best' case. Due to the small shape of the button and the wide range of different filament materials, this optimization study is challenging for fashion products where the design and quality are of primary interest. The higher printing temperature (225 ºC) and speed (50 mm/s) optimize the process. This research mainly explores the possibility of producing quality decorative products with FFF 3D printing to widen the avenue of using cost-effective and personalized designs in the fashion industry.

Effectiveness of an Internet-Based Self-Help Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Program on Medical Students’ Mental Well-Being: Follow-Up Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Wang Difan , Lin Bingyan , Zhang Shuangxi , Xu Wei , Liu Xinying
Published: December 2024

Background

Psychological distress is a growing problem among medical students worldwide. This highlights the need for psychological interventions to focus on mental health and improve well-being in this population.

Objective

This study developed an internet-based, self-help, acceptance and commitment therapy program (iACT 2.0), aiming to examine its effectiveness in reducing depression, anxiety, stress, psychological inflexibility (PI), and obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCSs) among medical students.

Methods

A total of 520 Chinese postgraduate medical students were randomly assigned to either an iACT 2.0 intervention group (n=260; six online lessons, once every 5 days) or a control condition (n=260; without intervention). Participants completed questionnaires including the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the revised Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, and the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory at the preintervention (T1), postintervention (T2), and 1-month follow-up time points (T3). No therapist support was provided during the 1-month iACT 2.0 intervention period. Data were collected via an online platform and analyzed using repeated-measures ANOVA.

Results

Participants in the intervention group demonstrated a significant decrease in depression, anxiety, stress, PI, and OCSs compared to the control group after the intervention (F=22.9-672.04, all P<.001). Specifically, the intervention group showed significant reductions in all measured outcomes from the preintervention to postintervention time point and at the 1-month follow-up (all P<.001). In contrast, no significant changes were observed in the control group over the same period (all P>.05). The groups did not differ significantly at baseline (all P>.05). Significant differences were noted at both the postintervention and follow-up time points (all P<.001).

Conclusions

This study demonstrated that the newly developed iACT 2.0 was effective in reducing depression, anxiety, stress, PI, and OCSs. Notably, the positive effects of the intervention persisted at the 1-month follow-up. This program can offer a useful addition to existing mental illness treatment and lead to improvements in clinical and psychotherapy planning while simultaneously reducing the burden on traditional counseling and services.

Evaluating the Prognostic and Clinical Validity of the Fall Risk Score Derived From an AI-Based mHealth App for Fall Prevention: Retrospective Real-World Data Analysis
Authors: Alves Sónia A , Temme Steffen , Motamedi Seyedamirhosein , Kura Marie , Weber Sebastian , Zeichen Johannes , Pommer Wolfgang , Baumgart André
Published: December 2024

Background

Falls pose a significant public health concern, with increasing occurrence due to the aging population, and they are associated with high mortality rates and risks such as multimorbidity and frailty. Falls not only lead to physical injuries but also have detrimental psychological and social consequences, negatively impacting quality of life. Identifying individuals at high risk for falls is crucial, particularly for those aged ≥60 years and living in residential care settings; current professional guidelines favor personalized, multifactorial fall risk assessment approaches for effective fall prevention.

Objective

This study aimed to explore the prognostic validity of the Fall Risk Score (FRS), a multifactorial-based metric to assess fall risk (using longitudinal real-world data), and establish the clinical relevance of the FRS by identifying threshold values and the minimum clinically important differences.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study involved 617 older adults (857 observations: 615 of women, 242 of men; mean age 83.3, SD 8.7 years; mean gait speed 0.49, SD 0.19 m/s; 622 using walking aids) residing in German residential care facilities and used the LINDERA mobile health app for fall risk assessment. The study focused on the association between FRS at the initial assessment (T1) and the normalized number of falls at follow-up (T2). A quadratic regression model and Spearman correlation analysis were utilized to analyze the data, supported by descriptive statistics and subgroup analyses.

Results

The quadratic model exhibited the lowest root mean square error (0.015), and Spearman correlation analysis revealed that a higher FRS at T1 was linked to an increased number of falls at T2 (ρ=0.960, P<.001). Subgroups revealed significant strong correlations between FRS at T1 and falls at T2, particularly for older adults with slower gait speeds (ρ=0.954, P<.001) and those using walking aids (ρ=0.955, P<.001). Threshold values revealed that an FRS of 45%, 32%, and 24% corresponded to the expectation of a fall within 6, 12, and 24 months, respectively. Distribution-based minimum clinically important difference values were established, providing ranges for small, medium, and large effect sizes for FRS changes.

Conclusions

The FRS exhibits good prognostic validity for predicting future falls, particularly in specific subgroups. The findings support a stratified fall risk assessment approach and emphasize the significance of early and personalized intervention. This study contributes to the knowledge base on fall risk, despite limitations such as demographic focus and potential assessment interval variability.
Investigating the Norwegian eHealth Governance Model: Document Study
Authors: Linstad Line Helen , Bjørnå Hilde , Moen Anne , Tunby Kristiansen Truls , Hansen Anne Helen
Published: December 2024

Background

Governments and policy makers struggle to achieve a balance between hierarchical steering and horizontal governance in systems characterized by fragmented decision authority and multiple interests. To realize its One Citizen–One Journal eHealth policy vision, the Norwegian government established a special eHealth board of stakeholders to create an inclusive governance model that aligned stakeholders’ interests with the government’s ambitions through coordination and consensus. Little empirical knowledge exists on how countries realize inclusive governance models.

Objective

This study aims to investigate how the Norwegian inclusive eHealth governance model was developed as a tool to align the government’s policy ambitions with stakeholders’ concerns from January 2012 to December 2022.

Methods

This document study used a thematic analysis based on a constructivist research approach. We included 16 policy documents and 175 consultation response documents issued between January 2012 and December 2022 related to the Norwegian One Citizen–One Journal policy implementation process. The themes were constructed deductively from a review of governance models and public governance theory and were applied as our analytical lens to each document. The findings were interpreted, analyzed, and synthesized.

Results

The national policy implementation process progressed through 3 phases, with changes in stakeholder inclusion and perceived influence on the decision-making process characterizing transitions from phase to phase. Tension developed between 2 contrasting views regarding top-down government authority and stakeholders’ autonomy. The view of the regional health trusts, municipalities, health care professional organizations, and industry actors contrasted with that of the patient organizations. Governmental insensitivity to participation, lack of transparency, and decreasing trust by stakeholder groups challenged the legitimacy of the inclusive governance model.

Conclusions

We illustrated that Norway’s One Citizen–One Journal policy trajectory was characterized by a process that unfolded across 3 distinct phases. The process was characterized by 2 contrasting stakeholder perspectives. Finally, it was shaped by diminishing trust in the inclusive governance model. The National eHealth Governance Board faced challenges in establishing legitimacy as a top-down inclusive governance model, primarily attributed to its addressing of participation, transparency, and trust dilemmas. Such dilemmas represent significant obstacles to inclusive governance models and require ongoing governmental vigilance and responsiveness from governmental entities.

MENINAS VESTEM ROSA, MENINOS VESTEM AZUL E O CONSERVADORISMO VESTE FARDA:
Authors: De Aragão Uchôa Fernandes Raquel , Cavalcante Vilar Lima Mirella
Published: December 2024

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as configurações e impactos da agenda familista nos sucessivos ataques aos ordenamentos jurídico-legais e à educação pública. Parte de uma análise sobre a atuação do Ministério da Mulher, da Família e dos Direitos Humanos (MMFDH), sob o comando da Ministra Damares Alves, e da incidência desta gestão, e do projeto a que se filiou, no campo da educação. Em tal projeto há uma presença supervalorizada da família para a reprodução social, em detrimento do Estado, o que representa um retrocesso em várias pautas estruturantes, dando espaço para a defesa de propostas ultraconservadoras como as de combate à “ideologia de gênero” e de defesa do modelo único de família.  Esta perspectiva está no centro das pautas da nova direita, materializada no Brasil mais recentemente pela eleição do Presidente Jair Messias Bolsonaro, que lançou mão, através do MMFDH, de uma série de políticas públicas chamadas de familiares com incidência em diferentes campos. Consideramos que uma gramática político-pedagógica alicerçada no fascismo, no pânico moral e no desmantelamento do Estado, teve severos rebatimentos na educação. Para atender aos objetivos propostos, realizou-se revisão da literatura sobre as principais categorias abordadas, e a análise documental de atos normativos e documentos institucionais do MMFDH. Ainda que estejamos vivenciando um momento de transformação no cenário político consideramos importante evidenciar para não repetirmos os atos absurdos da história recente.
EDUCAÇÃO EM TEMPOS DE ISOLAMENTO E NEOCONSERVADORISMO
Authors: Gomes Ingrid , Esteves Pâmela
Published: December 2024

O presente ensaio consiste em um exercício de reflexão/problematização sobre a prática docente e a produção de conhecimento durante o contexto de pandemia (2020/2021) e de neoconservadorismo brasileiro (LACERDA, 2019), a partir de reflexões de duas professoras de Sociologia, atuantes na escola básica privada e na universidade pública. Neste cenário, marcado pela reconfiguração dos modos de vida e pela intensificação da precarização do trabalho docente, elencamos como eixo teórico, as dimensões da educação propostas por Biesta (2012): a qualificação, a socialização e a subjetivação. Dessa forma, buscamos problematizar os sentidos da adaptação da modalidade de aulas não presenciais ao ensino remoto, com ênfase nas limitações e nos efeitos da relação pedagógica produzida na sala de aula online, e na adequação de conteúdos programáticos às videoaulas.

O estudo de interlíngua na aprendizagem do Francês Língua Estrangeira na Escola Secundária de Lhanguene em Maputo
Authors: Nhaca Jamila Rahima
Published: December 2024

Resumo
O presente artigo surge no estudo sobre a ocorrência da interlíngua na aprendizagem do Francês língua estrangeira (F.L.E), por aprendentes moçambicanos que têm a língua portuguesa como língua materna (LM) ou língua segunda (L2). O objectivo deste estudo é descrever as ocorrências das transferências negativas de hábitos de língua materna (LM) e ou da língua segunda (L2), que estão na origem das interferências linguísticas negativas verificadas na interlíngua dos aprendentes. Baseados em algumas abordagens sobre os paradigmas comunicativo e cognitivo, verificamos que a competência comunicativa dos aprendentes precisa de ser analisada, não apenas no aspecto gramatical, mas também na eficácia da comunicação dos aprendentes e da forma como eles usam a língua ao interagir. Por outro lado, o paradigma cognitivo é outro aspecto importante por considerar, pois este centraliza-se nos processos cognitivos de aprendizagem, sendo a atenção, a memória a transferência de conhecimento, etc. Baseados nestes dois paradigmas iremos desenvolver o nosso estudo em relação a problemática da interlíngua na primeira fase de aprendizagem do Francês, língua estrangeira (FLE). Como é sabido, num primeiro estágio de aprendizagem de línguas, a competência comunicativa é sublinhada como base para a aquisição de uma língua, e também a atenção e a memoria do aprendente jogam um papel primordial na aprendizagem. Como metodologia, aplicamos para o estudo a análise das redacções escritas por aprendentes numa situação etnográfica de sala de aulas. Os aprendentes geralmente passam por uma série de estágios à medida que adquirem proficiência, sendo esta uma fase importante de desenvolvimento do aprendizado. Erros da interlíngua verificados não são propositados, mas representam tentativas de comunicação por parte de quem aprende.

Exploring plurality of interpretation through annotations in the long 19th century: musician's perspectives and the FAAM project.
Authors: Nicholas Cornia
Published: December 2024

The quest of reconciling scholarship and interpretative freedom has always been present in the early music movement discourse, since its 19th century foundations. Confronted with a plurality of performance practices, the performer of Early Music is forced to make interpretative choices, based on musicological research of the sources and their personal taste.

The critical analysis of the sources related to a musical work is often a time-consuming and cumbersome task, usually provided by critical editions made by musicologists. Such editions primarily focus on the composer's agency, neglecting the contribution of a complex network of professions, ranging from editors, conductors, amateur and professional performers and collectors.

The FAAM, Flemish Archive for Annotated Music, is an interdisciplinary project at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp that wishes to explore the possibilities of annotation analysis on music scores for historically informed musicians.

Annotations are a valuable source of information to recollect the decision-making process of musicians of the past. Especially when original musical recordings are not available, the marks provided by these performers of the past are the most intimate and informative connections between modern and ancient musicians.

Contrary to a purely scholarly historically informed practice approach, based on the controversial concept of authenticity, we wish to allow the modern performers to reconcile their practice with the one of their predecessors in a process of dialectic emulation, where artistic process is improved through the past but does not stagnate in it.
Ordoliberal political philosophy: Outlining a new subjectivity through the lens of (Foucauldian) biopolitical project
Authors: Dragisic Sara
Published: December 2024

The essay aims to highlight the distinctiveness of ordoliberal political
philosophy and the significance of its relationship with the concepts of
order, time, and power. The ordoliberal moment is analyzed through its
various theoretical transformations, consistently emerging as a key factor
within the neoliberal agenda. The analysis primarily focuses on unpacking
the characteristics of Foucault?s homo oeconomicus in relation to the
ordoliberal understanding of subjectivity. The positioning of the economic
in relation to the political is shown to be critical for the philosophical
analysis of the formation of a characteristic type of subject within the
ordoliberal anthropological framework, defined by economic behavior. The
author demonstrates that the new grammar of power within neoliberal
democracy rests on a structurally non-revolutionary dynamic, on one hand,
and the prestige of economic action, on the other, resulting in a highly
specific subject as the foundation of ordoliberal theory.
Identifying the Relationship between Earnings and Prices
Authors: Starica Catalin , Marton Jan P.
Published: December 2024

The relationships between accounting earnings and stock prices, as well as between unexpected earnings and returns, have received substantial attention in the empirical literature. Several theoretical models predict the shapes of these relationships. However, a comprehensive empirical description that could be used to evaluate these predictions is lacking. By integrating recent advances in statistics and machine learning with findings in the accounting literature, we develop an empirical method to identify the relationships, which is consistent with the firm-specific and nonlinear features of the theoretical models. Our approach provides a clear description of stylized and robust patterns in the relationships that are relevant to distinguish between existing models and to aid future theory development. The findings are consistent with recently proposed dynamic option models for both the earnings-price and unexpected earnings-returns relationships.

Data availability: Data are available from the public sources cited in the text. A summary of the R code used in the article is available in Starica and Marton (2024).

Multiple Abnormal Cutaneous Findings in a Patient With Hypomelanosis of Ito Undergoing General Anesthesia
Authors: Kobashi Misato , Yoshimoto Hiroyo , Ohke Hanako , Goh Kenji , Fujita Naomasa , Mizuno Kaho , Saitoh Kaisei , Ando Satomi , Saitoh Masato , Terumitsu Makoto
Published: December 2024

Hypomelanosis of Ito (HI), a neurocutaneous syndrome, is characterized by skin depigmentation and skeletal, muscular, central nervous system, cardiac, and renal manifestations. A wide variety of cutaneous manifestations besides depigmentation have been reported. Herein we describe a 23-year-old woman with HI whose extracutaneous symptoms included severe mental and motor impairment, convulsions, and deformity of the orofacial region. She also had severe obesity, asthma, multiple allergies, and skin hypersensitivity. Although no extracutaneous manifestations were problematic during perioperative management of dental procedures under general anesthesia, erythema developed at 3 time points: during induction, during emergence, and in recovery. We speculated that mechanical stimuli to the skin and administration of multiple drugs likely caused histamine release, leading to the 3 episodes of erythema. Because patients with HI often have hypersensitivity reactions in the skin, both cutaneous and extracutaneous manifestations should be considered in the anesthetic management of patients with HI.

Published: December 2024

Hemangiomas in the head and neck region, especially those that may impact the airway, require special attention perioperatively because of the potential for difficulties with airway management and bleeding control. This case report describes the management of a 31-year-old male with a large hemangioma of the tongue and pharynx undergoing surgical extraction of mandibular third molars under intubated general anesthesia. Despite taking precautions and avoiding traumatizing the hemangioma while securing the airway, massive bleeding occurred during the surgical extractions, which prompted emergent transfer for angiographic embolization and a stay in the intensive care unit until extubation. This case report highlights the additional attention needed for patients with hemangiomas within the oral cavity and upper airway because of the potential for unexpected massive bleeding that can affect airway management and cardiovascular stability.

Concluyendo, se ofrecerán recomendaciones prácticas para optimizar el aprovechamiento del saldo, lo que podría traducirse en un mayor crecimiento y competitividad en el sector turístico de Puno.

Desde sus inicios, la administración pública ha pasado por varias fases de evolución, cada una influenciada por cambios políticos, económicos y tecnológicos. Hoy, nos encontramos en una fase donde la digitalización, la inteligencia artificial y el big data están redefiniendo la manera en que los gobiernos interactúan con los ciudadanos y gestionan los recursos. Sin embargo, estas tecnologías deben ser adoptadas de manera ética y equitativa, asegurando que todos los segmentos de la sociedad se beneficien y que se minimicen los riesgos asociados.
Hvem er herre over smaken? Unge kokkeelevers opplevelse av smak
Authors: Bødtker-Lund Daniel , Dæhlen Marianne , Fooladi Erik Cyrus
Published: December 2024

Denne artikkelen beskriver hvordan unge kokkeelever forholder seg til smak gjennom opplæringen i vg1 restaurant- og matfag i den videregående skolen. Empirien er innhentet gjennom fire ukers observasjon av elever i to vg1-klasser, og fokusgruppeintervjuer av elevene som hadde søkt seg videre til vg2 kokk og servitør. Resultatene antyder en todeling i hvordan elevene erfarer smak. På den ene siden ser vi at elever snakker om smak som en personlig opplevelse knyttet til individuelle preferanser, noe som kan være et resultat av erfaringer og bakgrunn. På den andre siden posisjonerer elevene seg selv som profesjonelle, nemlig som kokker som skal lage og servere mat til andre (gjester/kunder), og der kokkens personlige smak må settes i bakgrunnen. Våre funn peker mot et behov for tydeligere tilnærminger til undervisning om smak i yrkesopplæringen, samt at læringsressurser og læreverk har et tydeligere utviklet didaktisk perspektiv på kompleksiteten i yrkesrettet smaksopplæring. 
ENGLISH ABSTRACT
Who Is the Master of Taste? Young Chef Students’ Experience of Taste
The present article describes how young chef students relate to taste through their first year of culinary education in upper secondary vocational school in Norway. The research data were obtained during four weeks of observation of students in two first-year classes followed by focus group interviews. The results suggest a dichotomy in how students experience taste. On the one hand, we find that students talk about taste as a personal experience, linked to individual preferences, which might be a result of life experiences and personal background. On the other hand, students position themselves as nascent professionals, namely as chefs who will prepare and serve food to others (diners/customers), and where the chef’s personal taste must play second fiddle. Our findings point to a need for clearer approaches to teaching about taste in vocational training, as well as the need for a more elaborately developed didactic perspective on the complexity of vocational taste training in learning resources and textbooks.

In the rapidly urbanising world, the challenges of global warming, climate change, increased atmospheric pollutants, and the depletion of natural resources make the return to sustainability principles imperative for all. Since architecture is directly related to human life, the adoption of sustainable architectural principles requires serious effort. However, this necessitates awareness among all stakeholders involved in construction and housing such as designers, builders, policy makers, and users. This research investigates general awareness of sustainable architecture principles, focusing on residents of residential buildings in Tehran as the beneficiary of this industry. Using qualitative research methodology, purposive sampling was employed to select residents from various parts of the city. 12 residents of Tehran were asked to participate in an interview. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, recorded, and transcribed, with thematic analysis being the primary method of data analysis. The study identified five main themes from the interview results: understanding and principles of sustainable architecture, practical implementation and examples, personal impact and engagement, recognition and global perspective, and challenges and solutions. Despite existing challenges in the application of sustainability, participants in this research fundamentally prioritise sustainability and emphasise factors such as environmental preservation, resource optimization, and resilience against natural disasters. The findings suggest a growing trend in global understanding and awareness of sustainable architecture but emphasise the need for further action and education. This article contributes valuable efforts towards increasing public awareness and promoting sustainable architectural projects in urban environments, providing strategies for enhancing awareness and improving sustainable architectural projects for professionals and researchers.

The variability of air temperature was marked by periods of climate warming and cooling with random intensities and durations but they maintained the living existence and especially of the human species. They are determined by the variability of the cosmic factors that essentially determine the earth's climate. In this paper we analyzed the variation of the air temperature in Oltenia during the autumns for the interval 1961-2023. A series of our other works analyzed climate variability in this part of Romania. The warm interval 1945-1955 was followed by a gradual cooling of the climate, and in the interval 1968-2000 (for 38 years), there were only three warm autumns (c – 1984, 1987 and 1994) and only 5 warm autumns (warmish) (cl - slightly warmer than normal – 1969, 1976, 1981, 2000 and 2004). Then the frequency of warmer than normal months and autumns gradually increased with the year 2006, reaching a maximum in the interval 2009-2023 in which two very warm autumns were also recorded (fc – 2019 and 2023). Several daily temperature climate records were broken but seasonal ones were not. At the same time, in the analyzed interval, the pace of ice melting intensified in the polar areas and exceptional thermal maxima were recorded in the cold season. Early autumn frosts also occurred in warm autumns and did significant damage to unprotected vegetable crops. Random variability of air temperature determined by random variability of cosmic factors is the main cause of these thermal variations. The paper is useful to all those interested in climate variability in Oltenia.

The aim of our cross-sectional study was to assess the rotational range of motion of the shoulder joint and the scapula movement of Hungarian NBII handball players, to find out how many athletes may be affected by a rotational range of motion deficit. We also wanted to gain insight into whether players with GIRD report more pain. The study was conducted between September and October 2023. We studied 31 male handball players, all of whom participated in training sessions at least 3 times a week. The survey showed that more than half of the athletes were affected by some level of range of motion deficit. Of those assessed, 29% were affected by Glenohumeral Internal Rotation Deficit (GIRD) and 55% by Total Arc of Motion Deficit (TAMD). Those who had at least 15° of internal rotation deficit during pretesting had significantly less scapula upward rotation in the neutral shoulder, 60° abduction and 90° abduction positions. No significant difference was found in the 120° shoulder abduction position. For the non-dominant upper limb, no significant difference was found between the two groups. Athletes with GIRD reported significantly greater pain on the VAS scale than those without internal rotation deficit.
