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...

background: generalized joint hyper mobility predisposes some individuals to a wide variety of musculoskeletal complaints. given the critical role of scapular position in function of shoulder, the aim of this study was to compare scapular position between persons with and without general joint hyper mobility. methods: by nonprobability sampling 30 hyper mobile persons at average of 22.86 ±2.77 ...

BACKGROUND Scapular dyskinesis is an alteration in normal scapular position and motion. Some researchers believe that altered kinematics of the scapula subsequent to dysfunction or weakness of scapular stabilizing muscles contributes to impingement syndrome. Scapular muscle exercises are included in the rehabilitation of patients with subacromial impingement syndrome and scapular dyskinesis bec...

STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. OBJECTIVES To describe and compare scapular and clavicular kinematics and muscle activity during 6 retraction exercises in young healthy adults (mean +/- SD age, 23.2 +/- 2.4 years). BACKGROUND Based on the association between shoulder injuries and scapular/clavicular movement, muscle activity during various exercises that target muscles surrounding...

[Purpose] This study developed methods of shoulder supporting banding and shoulder pulling banding using elastic bands for scapular dyskinesis patients with shoulder depression and scapular downward rotation and investigated the effect on shoulder pain and scapular position. [Subject] The subject was a scapular dyskinesis patient with shoulder depression and scapular downward rotation and shoul...

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 t...

background and objectives: scapular stabilization and neuromuscular control provide an important parameter to characterize shoulder function during dynamic activities. many studies have confirmed the effect of the loading on scapular position and scapulohumeral rhythm. therefore, the evaluation of stabilizer muscles involvement in scapular asymmetry may assist in the development of clinical exa...
