Shoulder health is vital to the ability of violinists to play their instruments, but poor posture is considered a major risk of injury to violin players. For those who perform professionally, shoulder injuries endanger their careers. Therefore, finding shoulder postures that promote shoulder endurance and health are important. To this aim, the purpose of this study is to examine the scapular kinematics involved in playing on different strings of the violin. Five college-aged experienced violin players (male=1, female=4) with no recent history of shoulder surgery or severe shoulder pain volunteered to participate in this study. Kinematic sensors were placed on …
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 …
