Use of a Digital Inclinometer to Assess Scapular Upward Rotation: a Reliability and Validity Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Proposed New Method: A Pro 360 digital inclinometer (Macklanburg Duncan, Oklahoma City, OK) was used for 2-D static measurements of scapular upward rotation during humeral elevation. The instrument was modified by adding two wooden locator rods to its inferior surface. These rods had Y shaped ends, which were placed over the root of the scapular spine and the posterolateral acromion during each measurement session. A guide angled 40 from the frontal plane was used to insure positioning of the arm in the scapular plane. Thirty-nine subjects with (n=16) and without (n=23) shoulder pathology participated in the study.

Objectives: Changes in the Range of Motion (ROM) are essential criteria in determining the severity of spinal disorders and could be effective in predicting pain progression. Instruments to measure the ROM are costly and unavailable in most therapy settings. While there is a tendency in therapists to use their smartphones instead, there is no report to measure the suitability of smartphones to ...

Context: Glenohumeral and scapular upward rotation are important factors in functional upper extremity motion. Objectives: To determine how different amounts of glenohumeral rotation (internal, external, and neutral) affect scapular upward rotation. Design: Controlled laboratory study. Independent variables were the amounts of internal, external, and neutral glenohumeral rotation. The dependent...
متن کاملThe reliability and concurrent validity of scapular plane shoulder elevation measurements using a digital inclinometer and goniometer.
This study investigated the reliability and concurrent validity of active shoulder elevation in the scapular plane (scaption) using a digital inclinometer and goniometer. Two investigators used a goniometer and digital inclinometer to measure scaption on 30 asymptomatic participants in a blinded repeated measures design. Good reliability was present with intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC...
متن کاملAssessment of subacromial space and its relationship with scapular upward rotation in college baseball players.
CONTEXT Subacromial impingement is a common injury in baseball players and has been linked to a reduction in the subacromial space. In addition, it has been suggested that decreases in scapular upward rotation will lead to decreases in the subacromial space and ultimately impingement syndrome. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between acromiohumeral distan...
