Asymmetric resting scapular posture in healthy overhead athletes.
CONTEXT Observation of the scapular posture is one of the most important components of the physical examination in overhead athletes. Postural asymmetry is typically considered to be associated with injuries. However, asymmetry in the overhead athlete's scapula may be normal due to the dominant use of the limb. OBJECTIVE To quantify the differences in resting scapular posture between the domi...
متن کاملScapular bracing and alteration of posture and muscle activity in overhead athletes with poor posture.
CONTEXT Overhead athletes commonly have poor posture. Commercial braces are used to improve posture and function, but few researchers have examined the effects of shoulder or scapular bracing on posture and scapular muscle activity. OBJECTIVE To examine whether a scapular stabilization brace acutely alters posture and scapular muscle activity in healthy overhead athletes with forward-head, ro...
متن کاملScapular Strength in Presence of Scapular Winging and Tipping in Female Athletes Who Participate in Overhead Sports
The purpose of this study is to determine if scapular stabilizer weakness and instability is a plausible explanation for excessive winging and/or tipping of the scapula in females who participate in overhead sports. Instability may be an early sign of weakness that can contribute to shoulder injury. Literature regarding causes of scapular winging and tipping pertaining to weak scapular stabiliz...
متن کاملReaction Time and Anticipatory Skill of Overhead Athletes With and Without Scapular Dyskinesia
Purpose: Scapular dyskinesia is a change in position or movement of scapula, which is highly prevalent in athletes with overhead activities. In addition to biomechanical changes in shoulder complex, neurocognitive impairments can have a significant role in its creation. Thus, this study aimed to compare neurocognitive scores between athletes with and without scapular dyskinesia. Methods: I...
متن کاملHead and shoulder posture affect scapular mechanics and muscle activity in overhead tasks.
Forward head and rounded shoulder posture (FHRSP) is theorized to contribute to alterations in scapular kinematics and muscle activity leading to the development of shoulder pain. However, reported differences in scapular kinematics and muscle activity in those with forward head and rounded shoulder posture are confounded by the presence of shoulder pain. Therefore, the purpose of this study wa...
