ABSTRACT
The role of scapular dyskinesis as a risk factor of shoulder injury has been largely discussed. However, most studies have focused on symptomatic patients and less is known on the asymptomatic dyskinetic scapula. Removing the confounding effects of the pathologies could contribute to better characterize the scapula dyskinesis. As muscle properties (strength, fatigue, nerve injury …) have been identified as causative factors of scapular dyskinesis, this study focuses specifically on characterizing the protractor and retractor muscles of the dyskinetic scapula. Thirteen asymptomatic dyskinetic volunteers were compared to eleven asymptomatic non-dyskinetic control volunteers. Muscle characteristics were evaluated in terms of maximal strength, fatigue resistance and electromyographic activity during a functional closed-chained task. The results did not identify kinematic or muscle activity significant differences between the dyskinetic and the control group even in fatigue conditions. However, the results demonstrated that protractors vs. retractors fatigue resistance ratios were imbalanced (<0.8) in the dyskinetic group and significantly lower than in the non-dyskinetic one. Our study suggests that that strength imbalances are not necessarily related to the presence of pain at the shoulder joint. These results demonstrated the importance to complete the clinical assessments of the scapula with strength evaluations even for asymptomatic sport practitioners.
