Purpose: To provide an overview of the characteristics and timing of rotator cuff healing and
provide an update on treatments used in rehabilitation of rotator cuff repairs. The authors' …

Kinetic chains (KCs) are primarily affected by the load of different activities that recruit
muscles from different regions. We explored the effects of strengthening exercises on KCs …

The present study was performed to assess the electromyographic activity of the scapular
muscles during push-ups on a stable and unstable surface, in subjects with scapular …

Background: Although rehabilitation exercises are recommended in the nonoperative and
postoperative treatment of biceps-related disorders and superior labrum anterior-posterior …

Context: The closed kinetic chain upper-extremity stability (CKCUES) test is a functional test
for the upper extremity performed in the push-up position, where individuals support their …

Context: Selective strengthening of scapular stabilizers is one of the emphases of the recent
literature. Closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises are used extensively in shoulder …

Background During maximal isometric protraction, it is important to determine the optimal
resistance intensity in subjects with a winged scapula, for inducing isolated activity of the …

[Purpose] This study investigated the changes in electromyographic (EMG) activities of the
infraspinatus and posterior deltoid muscles during shoulder external rotation under open …

Strength and power are key elements of soccer performance. A stronger player can sprint
faster, jump higher, change direction more quickly and kick the ball harder. Strength Training …

The purpose of study was to determine and compare electromyographic activity of selected
shoulder girdle muscles in elite swimmers with and without shoulder pain. Twelve …
