Shoulder Function and 3-Dimensional Scapular Kinematics in People With and Without Shoulder Impingement SyndromePhysical Therapy - Tập 86 Số 8 - Trang 1075-1090 - 2006
Philip McClure, Lori A. Michener, Andrew R. Karduna
AbstractBackground and Purpose. Several factors such as posture, muscle force, range of motion, and scapular dysfunction are commonly believed to contribute to shoulder impingement. The purpose of this study was to compare 3-dimensional scapular kinematics, shoulder range of motion, shoulder muscle force, and posture in subjects with and without primary shoulder im...... hiện toàn bộ
Examining Diagnostic Tests: An Evidence-Based PerspectivePhysical Therapy - Tập 81 Số 9 - Trang 1546-1564 - 2001

Alterations in Shoulder Kinematics and Associated Muscle Activity in People With Symptoms of Shoulder ImpingementPhysical Therapy - Tập 80 Số 3 - Trang 276-291 - 2000
Paula M. Ludewig, Thomas M. Cook
AbstractBackground and Purpose. Treatment of patients with impingement symptoms commonly includes exercises intended to restore “normal” movement patterns. Evidence that indicates the existence of abnormal patterns in people with shoulder pain is limited. The purpose of this investigation was to analyze glenohumeral and scapulothoracic kinematics and associated sca...... hiện toàn bộ
A Review of Therapeutic Ultrasound: Biophysical EffectsPhysical Therapy - Tập 81 Số 7 - Trang 1351-1358 - 2001
Kerry Baker, Valma J Robertson, Francis Duck
Abstract
Almost 2 decades ago, it was pointed out that physical therapists tended to overlook the tenuous nature of the scientific basis for the use of therapeutic ultrasound. The purpose of this review is to examine the literature regarding the biophysical effects of therapeutic ultrasound to determine whether these effects may be considered suffici...... hiện toàn bộ
