CONTEXT Proper scapulothoracic motion is critical for the health and function of the shoulder and represents a principal focus in the rehabilitation setting. Variants of the traditional push-up are used frequently to help restore proper scapular kinematics. To date, substantial research has focused on muscle activation levels of rotator cuff and scapular-stabilizing musculature, whereas a deart...

Introduction: Scapular dyskinesis is an abnormality in scapula static or dynamic position. There are several techniques for scapular conservative treatment, including Kinesio Tape application, which used to promote and support joint alignment, decrease pain improve local muscle control. Objective. To investigate the effect of kinesio tape on kinematics subjects with dyskinesis. Methods. Fourtee...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare scapular kinematics during elevation phase of abduction, flexion, and scapular plane elevation phase between fifteen persons with shoulder impingement syndrome (sis) and thirteen persons without it. methods: values of scapular kinematics include scapular superior and lateral translations, upward rotation, external rotation, and posterior tipp...

purpose: altered kinematics of the scapula or scapular dyskinesis (downward rotation, anterior tilt, and protraction) contribute to impingement syndrome by decreasing the subacromial space. given the critical role of scapular position and movement in the function of the shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position and dyskinesis in individuals with and without rounded should...

INTRODUCTION In a healthy shoulder, as the humerus elevates, the scapula rotates upward and tilts posteriorly. Factors are known to influence the magnitude of this response such as the plane of elevation [1]; however, gender is rarely tested as a factor. This is remarkable, as gender is known to influence kinematic and injury outcomes at other joints, such as at the knee [2]. Therefore the purp...
