The purpose of this study was to elucidate the relationship between shoulder girdle disorders of baseball players and the Hara test. We investigated 134 pitchers of the Gunma High School Baseball Association. The check lists were as follows: shoulder pain at the time of pitching; Hara test ( 11 items ). The correlation between shoulder pain at the time of pitching and each check list were examined. Furthermore, evaluation in zeroposition X-rays were examined. 31 pitchers had shoulder pain at the time of pitching. The significant relations were as follows: SSP test; impingement test; combined abduction test ( CAT ); elbow extension test ( EET ); elbow push test ( EPT ); hyper external rotation test ( HERT ). There was no significant difference between the types of zeroposition X-rays. We thought that the useful check lists were the SSP test, impingement test, CAT, EET, EPT and HERT.
