The Effects Of Hip Position On Scapular Kinematics And Muscle Activation In The Oblique Sling: A Simulated Study, Sarah Elizabeth Pine
The Effects Of Hip Position On Scapular Kinematics And Muscle Activation In The Oblique Sling: A Simulated Study, Sarah Elizabeth Pine
WWU Graduate School Collection
The purpose of this study was to measure differences in scapular kinematics and muscular activation, associated with shoulder stabilization and the oblique sling, as a result of changes in hip position. Scapular kinematics and muscular activation of the latissimus dorsi, infraspinatus, upper trapezius, lower trapezius, serratus anterior, and the contralateral gluteus maximus were measured during scapular plane humeral elevation. Subjects (n=25 male and female) were required to elevate the dominant arm up to 120º while remaining in the scapular plane and performed the following conditions in randomized order: standing bilateral hip extension, seated bilateral hip flexion, and seated unilateral …
Active And Passive Joint Position Sense On Healthy Hips, Julianna J. Johnson
Active And Passive Joint Position Sense On Healthy Hips, Julianna J. Johnson
WWU Graduate School Collection
Hip proprioception has been tested on various populations, but there is limited research on healthy young adults. Primary assessments of proprioception for hip have been on joint position sense (JPS), but fewer studies have accomplished this in an unconstraint testing apparatus with angular repositioning tasks. Purpose of this study was to examine effects of active and passive repositioning on hip JPS in healthy young adults. It was hypothesized that active JPS error scores would be lower compared to passive JPS error scores. There was a total of 15 subjects in the study. Digitization of anatomical landmarks were used to create …
