Abstract Background and Purpose. Treatment of patients with im**ement symptoms
commonly includes exercises intended to restore “normal” movement patterns. Evidence …

There is a growing body of literature associating abnormal scapular positions and motions,
and, to a lesser degree, clavicular kinematics with a variety of shoulder pathologies. The …

Subacromial im**ement syndrome is the most common disorder of the shoulder, resulting
in functional loss and disability in the patients that it affects. This musculoskeletal disorder …

The etiology of rotator cuff tendinopathy is multi-factorial, and has been attributed to both
extrinsic and intrinsic mechanisms. Extrinsic factors that encroach upon the subacromial …

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

Objectives: To determine the effect of thoracic posture on scapular movement patterns,
active range of motion (ROM) in scapular plane abduction, and isometric scapular plane …

In the last two decades, subacromial im**ement syndrome has become an increasingly
common diagnosis for patients who have a painful shoulder. However, subacromial …

Abnormal scapular kinematics and associated muscle function presumably contribute to
shoulder pain and pathology. An understanding of scapular kinematic and …
