Relationship Between Performance of Selected Scapular Muscles and Scapular Abduction in Standing Subjects

摘要: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between muscular forces generated by middle trapezius and pectoralis minor muscles position scapula in relaxed standing. 60 subjects were measured standard manual muscle testing positions with a hand-held dynamometer. Scapular abduction standing tape measure. Each measurement taken twice, measurements shown be reliable. correlation scapular force .20. .14. ratio .01. results indicate that no exists produced muscles. Clinical practices based on an assumed these variables (eg, practice using strengthening exercises correct forward shoulder position) should reexamined light findings.
