Background: Altered scapular kinematics in individuals with rounded shoulder posture (RSP) may affect acromiohumeral distance (AHD). The purpose of this study was to compare AHD and scapular dyskinesis prevalence in individuals with and without RSP.    Methods: A total of 44 women (RSP, n=21; control, n=23) participated in the study. RSP was assessed by measuring acromion to table distance (AT...

Shoulder pain occurs commonly in food service workers (FSWs) who repetitively perform motions of the upper limbs. Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) on the upper trapezius (UT) are among the most common musculoskeletal shoulder pain syndromes. This study determined the psychological, posture, mobility, and strength factors associated with pain severity in FSWs with UT pain due to MTrPs.In this c...

Water polo is a high-intensity intermittent aquatic sport which places large physical demands on the participants[1] and involves repetitive physical motions that are common to swimming and baseball pitching.[2] Water polo consists of four quarters, where two teams of seven players per side attempt to score goals by throwing the ball into their opponents' goal. Water polo is played in a pool me...
