Abstract

Scapula dyskinesia, characterised by droopingscapulae and reduced upward rotation, has been implicated in thepresentation of a number of shoulder disorders. Traditionally, inshoulder rehabilitation programs, the shrug exercise has been prescribedto strengthen the upper trapezius muscle and facilitateupward rotation of the scapula. The aim of this research was tocompare muscle activation levels during the standard shrug andthe upward rotation shrug in a normal and pathological population
