Measurement of scapula upward rotation: a reliable clinical procedure.
BACKGROUND It is important to deal with the scapula when developing rehabilitation strategies for the shoulder complex. This requires clinical measurement tools that are readily available and easy to apply and which provide a reliable evaluation of scapula motion. AIM To determine the reliability of the Plurimeter-V gravity inclinometer for the measurement of scapular upward rotation position...
متن کاملClinical Assessment of Scapula Motion: Scapula Upward Rotation and Relationship with Injury in Swimmers
Abnormal scapulothoracic mechanics and scapulohumeral rhythm are implicated in shoulder pathologies, including glenohumeral impingement and rotator cuff tears. Upward scapula rotation, specifically asymmetry of scapula motion and associations of patterns through range with injury, was investigated in dominant and non-dominant limbs of nationally ranked junior and Paralympic swimmers during comp...
متن کاملEffects of scapular upward rotation exercises on alignment of scapula and clavicle and strength of scapular upward rotators in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-week scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on scapular and clavicular alignment and scapular upward rotators strength in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS). Seventeen volunteer subjects with SDRS were recruited from university populations. The alignment of the scapula and clavicle was measured using radiogr...
متن کاملEffects of scapula-upward taping using kinesiology tape in a patient with shoulder pain caused by scapular downward rotation
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of scapula-upward taping (SUT) in a patient with shoulder pain caused by scapular downward rotation (SDR). [Subject] A 26-year-old male with SDR experienced severe pain in the left shoulder when he lifted his left upper extremity to hold the handle in a bus and during and after push-up exercise. [Methods] The patient underwent SUT for ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Six Weeks of Corrective Exercises on the Kinematics of the Scapula in Males with Scapular Downward Rotation Defect: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background and Objectives: One of the abnormal forms of scapular malalignment is the scapular downward rotation defect, which includes depression, protraction, and anterior scapula tilt, which potentially reduces the upper rotation and posterior tilting of the scapula. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of six weeks of corrective exercises on the kinematics of the scap...
