“…Recently, specific exercises to strengthen the MT, LT, and SA were shown to be effective in restoring muscle balance. 31 Glenohumeral IR and ER ROM. In agreement with other studies, 3,18,19 we found side differences in the tennis players for IR, ER, and total ROM, with less IR, larger ER, and smaller total ROM on the dominant side.…”

“…Vande Velde et al 116 showed that a 12-week scapular training programme resulted in a significant increase in isokinetic scapular muscle strength in healthy adolescent swimmers, and from a study of Merolla et al ,117 strength increase in the glenohumeral external rotators was apparent after a 6-month training programme in volleyball players with scapular dyskinesis. The latter study is of particular importance since it showed that scapular training improved glenohumeral muscle function, specifically the external rotators which are highly stressed during overhead activities.…”

The scapula functions as a bridge between the shoulder complex and the cervical spine and plays a very important role in providing both mobility and stability of the neck/shoulder region. The association between abnormal scapular positions and motions and glenohumeral joint pathology has been well established in the literature, whereas studies investigating the relationship between neck pain and scapular dysfunction have only recently begun to emerge. Although several authors have emphasised the relevance of restoring normal scapular kinematics through exercise and manual therapy techniques, overall scapular rehabilitation guidelines decent for both patients with shoulder pain as well as patients with neck problems are lacking. The purpose of this paper is to provide a science-based clinical reasoning algorithm with practical guidelines for the rehabilitation of scapular dyskinesis in patients with chronic complaints in the upper quadrant.

Background: In swimmers, the great number of stroke repetitions and force generated through the upper extremity, leaves the shoulder uniquely vulnerable to injury. Numerous high school swimmers experience shoulder pain, muscle shortening, and/or weakness leading to poor swim mechanics. Purpose: The purposes of this study were to examine the effects of a six week dry land intervention program on the 1) flexibility of the shoulder girdle, 2) muscular strength of the shoulder girdle and core, and 3) swim performance in high school aged competitive swimmers. Methods: 32 high-school swimmers were divided into control (N = 16) and intervention (N = 16) groups. Measurements for shoulder strength, core strength and swim times were measured. The intervention group completed a dry-land home exercise program three times a week for six weeks. Results: A MANOVA comparing flexibility, strength and swim times for pre-and post-test measurements by control and intervention group, revealed a significant group by time interaction. Post-hoc tests revealed a significant improvement in core strength in the intervention group (F = 15.847, p = .000). Conclusion: A 6-week dry land exercise program was effective in improving core strength, however, shoulder flexibility, strength and swim performance remained unchanged in this group.
