- Florence Kendall - developed the modern strength tests.
- ? Sick Scapula -
- S- Scapular malposition, I- Inferior medial scapular winging, C - Coracoid tenderness K- scapular dysKinesis
- Scapular malposition - When arms are at side, one scapula (usually the throwing side) is significantly lower, rises higher when arms are elevated to the side or overhead
- often misdiagnosed as rotator cuff injury
- increased tightness of the posterior shoulder capsule changes the axis of the shoulder causing decreased ROM w/ internal rotation and increased ROM w/ external rotation
- often leads to a SLAP (Superior Labrum Anterior Posterior) lesion due to increased ROM in external rotation causing the long head of biceps brachii to peal the cartilage off the bone
- Inferior medial scapular winging - Inferior tip sticks out from rib cage caused by
- weak mid, low traps, serratus anterior
- tight pectoralis minor
- Scapular DysKinesis - the inferior tip gets stuck in the lower position
- Treatment
- stretch the posterior glenohumeral capsule
- stretch relax tight anterior muscles (pect minor)
- strengthen the posterior weak muscles (blackburn exercises)
- Passive stability - can't control
- bone, capsule, ligament, labrum,
- Active stability - control
- muscles
- anterior flexors of the shoulder
- anterior deltoid
- subscapularis
- biceps brachii
- coracobrachialis
- supraspinatus
