Table 3. A comparison of the general shoulder abduction and the GH joint abduction RoM between the UT pain and the control groups

RoM	UT pain group (n=24)	Control group (n=24)	t	p
The general shoulder abduction
Active RoM (°)	176.69 (16.50)	180.73(14.41)	–0.90	0.37
Passive RoM (°)	174.06 (20.04)	175.81(19.17)	–0.31	0.76
The GH joint abduction
Active RoM (°)	110.40 (27.99)	134.69 (17.83)	–3.59	0.000*
Passive RoM (°)	104.06 (19.46)	132.15 (19.34)	–5.01	<0.001*

Mean (standard deviation). UT pain, upper trapezius pain; RoM, range of motion; GH, glenohumeral;
p<0.05 significant difference.
