Treatment Of Scapular Dyskinesis With Reflexive Neuromuscular Stimulation: A Case Report, Alli Z. Powell, Russell T. Baker Jan 2019

Treatment Of Scapular Dyskinesis With Reflexive Neuromuscular Stimulation: A Case Report, Alli Z. Powell, Russell T. Baker

Clinical Practice in Athletic Training

Scapular dyskinesis is an abnormal movement of the scapula due to poor motor control of the surrounding musculature and can lead to other glenohumeral pathologies. The pathology results in the lateral tilting of the scapula during many glenohumeral joint movements and weight-bearing activities of the upper extremity (i.e., plank). The typical conservative treatment protocol focuses on strengthening surrounding musculature and is often a lengthy protocol. A weakness of strengthening protocols is the failure to address the motor function of targeted muscles at the level of the central nervous system (CNS) to restore dynamic stability and motor control. Reactive Neuromuscular Stabilization …

The Mulligan Concept In The Treatment Of Anterior Knee Pain, Karla S. Judge, Alan Nasypany, Russell T. Baker, James May

Clinical Practice in Athletic Training

The purpose of the disablement model case study was to describe the case of a collegiate basketball player suffering from anterior knee pain (AKP). The patient had been experiencing AKP while participating in pre-season basketball related activities (playing, weight lifting, and conditioning) for approximately six weeks. As the intensity increased, the pain became intolerable. Previously, the patient had missed a significant amount of off-season workouts due to surgery for an upper extremity injury sustained during the competitive season. The patient reported tenderness at the inferior pole of the patella, and at the tibial tuberosity. There was no joint line tenderness, …


Short Term Effects Of A Pectoralis Minor Positional Release In Collegiate Swimmers: A Case Series, Jonathan Roman, Noelle M. Selkow Jan 2018

Short Term Effects Of A Pectoralis Minor Positional Release In Collegiate Swimmers: A Case Series, Jonathan Roman, Noelle M. Selkow

Clinical Practice in Athletic Training

A tight pectoralis minor correlates to abnormal scapular kinematics, which can cause pain, loss of range of motion and even loss of function, due to the change in scapular position. With these muscular imbalances causing forward scapular posture, the pectoralis minor is a key component to address in the prevention and treatment of shoulder impingement and scapular dyskinesis. This study investigated the effectiveness of a single positional release therapy (PRT) treatment of the pectoralis minor on scapular posture in collegiate swimmers immediately and 24 hours post intervention. Seventeen Division III collegiate swimmers (7 males and 10 females) volunteered to participate, …
