“…Different methods have been used for the assessment of joint position sense [22,43,[45][46][47][48]: the active/active, activeassisted, and passive/active protocols evaluating one or more between shoulder forward flexion, abduction, and internal and external rotation have been reported. Regarding the equipment used, proprioception has been investigated through isokinetic dynamometer [44,[49][50][51], inclinometer [51,52], laser pointer [52], goniometer [52], continuous passive motion device [53], fabricated laboratory equipment [54][55][56][57], and motion analysis system [58,59].…”

“…However, the authors evaluated scapular movement during sustained 90° shoulder abduction and found a better correlation for the nondominant limb. 25 However, another study that compared shoulder JPS between dominant and non-dominant limbs found a difference between the sides only during the lowest angle of the tested protocol, which was 55°. 16 This result is aligned with the findings of the present research, suggesting that angular positioning error is more affected by angulation (movement amplitude) than by lateral dominance.…”

Objective: To validate the PhisioPlay software for proprioceptive evaluation of the shoulder joint based on the data obtained by isokinetic dynamometry equipment. Methods: Thirty-one individuals constituted a single group for proprioceptive evaluation of both shoulder joints by means of joint position sense (JPS). The testing protocol of PhisioPlay consisted of the abduction movement of the shoulder to the target angles of 45° and 90° and the maintenance of these positions for 30 seconds. In the isokinetic dynamometer, the test was performed using its proprioceptive evaluation protocol for the same movement, target angles, and maintenance time established for the previous test. Results: For the 90° variables, statistical analysis pointed to agreement for the dominant limb in relation to the mean angulation and the absolute difference and for the non-dominant limb in relation to the absolute difference. The results of mean comparisons of the absolute differences via the Wilcoxon Test corroborate the literature regarding the behavior of the JPS considering joint amplitude, lateral dominance, and greater or lesser torque affecting the joint. Reliability and sensitivity measures also strengthen the conclusions. Conclusion: The results point to the construct validity of the PhisioPlay software for evaluating the JPS of the shoulder joint at 45° and 90° and suggest that the JPS is more influenced by the angle of the joint during the motor task than by the lateral dominance.

“…Two other studies specifically measured the scapular JPS in scapular elevation/depression and protraction/retraction. 20,21 It is still unknown whether JPS errors of the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints contribute to JPS errors of the humerothoracic joint in function movements.…”

Errors in Shoulder Joint Position Sense Mainly Come from the Glenohumeral Joint

While synchronous movement of glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints has been emphasized in previous kinematics studies, most investigations of shoulder joint position sense have treated the shoulder complex as a single joint. The purposes of this study were to investigate the joint position sense errors of the humerothoracic, glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints at different elevation angles and to examine whether the errors of the glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints contribute to the errors of the humerothoracic joint. Fifty-one subjects with healthy shoulders were recruited. Active joint position sense of the humerothoracic, glenohumeral and scapulothoracic joints was measured at 50°, 70° and 90° of humerothoracic elevation in the scapular plane. The results showed that while scapulothoracic joint position sense errors were not affected by target angles, there was an angle effect on humerothoracic and glenohumeral errors, with errors decreasing as the target angles approached 90° of elevation. The results of a multiple regression analysis revealed that glenohumeral errors explained most of the variance of the humerothoracic errors and that scapulothoracic errors had a weaker predictive relationship with humerothoracic errors. Therefore, it may be necessary to test scapular joint position sense separately in addition to the assessment of the overall shoulder joint position sense.
