Methods based on cutaneous markers are the most popular for the recording of three
dimensional scapular motion analysis. Numerous methods have been evaluated, each …

Interest in arm movements has increased tremendously in recent years. This interest has
been motivated by different goals: the desire for a more scientific approach to replacement …

Study Design Two-group comparison. Objective To compare scapular kinematics during arm
elevation between groups distinguished by pectoralis minor resting length. Background …

Background and Purpose. A relationship between posture and impairment at the shoulder is
theorized, but not supported by evidence. It is proposed that posture and impairment are not …

Shoulder motion is complex and significant research efforts have focused on measuring
glenohumeral joint motion. Unfortunately, conventional motion measurement techniques are …

Objective. To compare scapular orientation during both the concentric (elevation) and
eccentric (lowering) phases of scapular plane abduction in subjects with and without …

Shoulder-related dysfunction affects individuals' ability to function independently and thus
decreases quality of life. Functional task assessment is a key concern for a clinician in …

Disorders of the shoulder complex can be accompanied by changes in the movement
pattern of the scapula. However, scapular motion is difficult to measure. A possible non …

BACKGROUND: To investigate the coordination of humeral, scapular and thoracolumbar
spine motions during a number of unilateral and bilateral upper limb movements in a range …

The purpose of this study was to determine if a distinctive characteristic exists in the pattern
of movement (scapular elevation and upward rotation to reduce impingement) and …
