This study investigates and acts as a trial clinical outcome for human hand motion and behaviour analysis. It was analysed and accessed the quality of human motion that can be used to differentiate the left and right hand throwing action patterns and also the effect of throwing distance to shoulder pain. It aims to establish how widespread the quality of life effects of human motion especially hands movement. Gyroscope, accelerometer and compass sensors were used to measure the hand movement for a throwing process. 2D and 3D scatter plotting were proposed to represent data in graphical form. An experiment was set up in a laboratory environment with conjunction of analysing human motion. The instruments demonstrate 2D and 3D scatter plot enable distinguish left and right hand throwing action patterns significantly. Distribution of gyroscope data shows that a throwing mechanism for a greater distance may bring greater probability of shoulder injury
