Shoulder function and scapular position in boxers

摘要: Abstract Objectives To investigate differences in strength, shoulder range of motion and scapula position a cohort boxers comparison with control group non-boxers. Design Cross-sectional study. Participants 18 3 or more years experience (years = 5.5 ± 3.1, sessions per week = 4.3 ± 0.7, age = 27.0 ± 6.8) 20 participants (age = 28.3 ± 4.6). Experimental protocol The were tested for isometric internal external rotation strength measured hand held dynamometer, passive via 2D video using digital camera, scapular function scoliometer visual inspection by trained researcher. Both arms (dominant non-dominant) to allow comparison. Magnitude based inferences used find meaningful intra inter group. Results Boxers had greater dyskinesis (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.73 ×/÷ 3.37) increased the dominant arm (effect size (ES) = 0.70 ± 0.68) when compared non-boxer Conclusion displayed symptoms that increase their risk upper limb injury
