Scapular dyskinesia Flashcards
Typical starting position of the scapula: upward rotation?
2-18 deg
Typical starting position of the scapula: internal rotation?
33-35 deg
Typical starting position of the scapula: anterior tilt - posterior tilt?
8-10 deg
Typical starting position of the scapula: position inf angle?
T7
Typical starting position of the scapula: lateral shift of inf angle?
8.1 cm from T7 SP
What are the 4 contributors to scapular position?
- thoracic influence
- cervical influence
- habitual influences
- muscle imbalances
Static posture of the scapula is the best indicator of pathology (T/F)
FALSE - what the scapula does during motion is most important
In the scapula rehab algorithm, what are the two main categories that can be contributing to scapular dysfunction?
- lack of soft tissue flexibility
2. lack of muscle performance
In the scapular rehab program algorithm, lack of soft tissue flexibly can be broken down into what two categories? How would you treat this?
- scapular muscles
- GH muscle/capsule
treatment - stretching and mob’s
In the scapular rehab program algorithm, lack of muscular performance can be broken down into what two categories? How would you treat this?
- muscular control; treat with neuromuscular coordination
2. muscular strength: treat with strength training
What 3 scapular muscles may impact soft tissue flexibility?
- pec minor
- levator scapulae
- rhomboids
What 3 GH muscles (and part(s) of capsule) may impact soft tissue flexibility?
- posterior capsule
- infraspinatus
- lat dorsi
Stage __ = conscious activation of scapular force couples, scapular orientation exercise, biofeedback
1
Stage __ = co-contraction in basic positions, activation with low load, exercises with high LFT/SA ratios
2
Stage ___ = general scapula strengthening, integration of kinetic chain
3
Stage ___ = advanced strengthening, sport specific, plyometric, kinetic chain integration
4
What does the scapular orientation exercise include?
- 15-30 degrees forward of coronal plane
- upward rotation (lift acromion and glenoid)
In the scapular orientation exercise, the inferior angle moves ________.
laterally
In the scapular orientation exercise, place and hold pt in ideal position for __ reps of __ secs
10;10
What are 3 examples of exercises in stage 2 of scapular rehab?
- low row
- lawnmover
- robbery
We often see ______ LFT and SA with excessive use of ___
decreased; UFT
What are 2 exercises that target SA?
- dynamic hug
2. bilateral SA punch to 120 deg abduction
