Context: Upper extremity performance tests do not provide a specific evaluation for overhead throwing. The Upper Limb Rotation Test (ULRT) is a novel test that provides a specific evaluation for overhead throwing, particularly in the 90-90 degrees position. Objective: The primary purpose of the study was to evaluate the reliability of the ULRT. The secondary objective was to evaluate the relationship between the ULRT and two physical performance tests. Participants: 48 athletes. Main outcome measures: Results showed high reliability (nondominant extremity ICC = 0.81, dominant extremity ICC = 0.80) of the ULRT reliability. Results: The ULRT has demonstrated high reliability in overhead athletes. A moderate correlation was found between the ULRT CKCUEST scores. No correlation was observed between ULRT and UQYBT. Conclusion: The ULRT demonstrated high reliability in overhead athletes.
