“…The SA is the primary muscle used during scapular protraction and is responsible for preventing scapular winging (Escamilla et al, 2009;Neumann, 2016). This muscle is strengthened by push-ups performed according to a protracted motion (Castelein et al, 2016;Park and Yoo, 2011;Maenhout et al, 2010;Pirauá et al, 2014). The pectoralis major (PM) functions as a synergist during scapular protraction to compensate for weakness of the SA (Decker et al, 1999;Hiengkaew et al, 2003;Hintermeister et al, 1998).…”

“…Ho et al found that massage and mobilizations-with-movement (MWM) may be useful in comparison to no treatment for short-term outcomes for shoulder dysfunction [20]. There is an abundance of studies with selective exercises for stretching and strengthening the kinetic chain and scapular muscles, which shows improvement for muscular strength or selective muscles activation while using EMG feedback systems [22,52,67]. However, although EMG provides information on the activity of the muscles, EMG data are somewhat limited regarding the interpretation of the function of the whole musculoskeletal system.…”

An abnormal motion of the scapula, or scapular dyskinesis (SD), can be effectively treated through conservative therapy. The aim of this study is to evaluate a new specific exercise program to restore normal position. A standardized and specific exercise program was created. In a prospective multi-center approach, patients were randomized into two groups: one group received the specific exercise program over a period of six weeks and the controls received massage therapy. The visual-analog scale, QuickDASH score, SICK scapula rating scale, hand press-up position test, lateral scapular slide test and internal rotation of the shoulder were evaluated. Twenty-eight patients were included in the study: fifteen in the exercise group and thirteen in the control group. Pain levels on the visual analog scale (VAS) were significantly reduced in both groups (exercise p=0.007; control p=0.004). The scores for QuickDASH (p=0.001), SICK scapula rating scale (p=0.003) and hand press-up position test (p=0.026) were significantly improved in the exercise group only. Scapula-focused exercise programs, as well as massage therapy, can effectively relieve pain in patients with SD. However, scapula-focused exercises resulted, specifically, in greater improvement of shoulder function.

“…Based on several studies reporting EMG activity during specific scapular muscle exercises [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] and modifications from a previous study, 29 the authors established a progressive algorithm with three phases of strengthening: Phase 1 Neuromuscular education, Phase 2 Resistive with light to moderate loads/ short lever arm, and Phase 3 Resistive with moderate to heavy loads/ long lever arms. The exercises were specifically selected based on % MVIC as well as exercises producing an optimal UT/LT ratios.…”

Scapular muscle weakness in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy is an identified impairment and is part of a multimodal rehabilitation approach. The published literature provides little information regarding specific rehabilitation guidelines that address both the proximal scapular muscle weakness and local elbow/ wrist dysfunctions common in patients with lateral elbow tendinopathy. The purpose of this clinical commentary is to describe a comprehensive rehabilitation strategy for individuals with lateral elbow tendinopathy. This program emphasizes a phased therapeutic strategy that addresses proximal and local dysfunction along the kinetic chain. This clinical protocol is currently being tested for efficacy as part of a randomized controlled trial. The information in this commentary is intended to provide clinicians with sufficient detail to comprehensively guide the rehabilitation of a patient with lateral elbow tendinopathy.
