Brief Summary

The study aims to compare the performance and the 3D shoulder kinematics of volleyball attackers with and without scapular dyskinesis and shoulder symptoms in two physical performance measures of the upper extremity, and correlate their outcomes with a self-reported measure of function of the upper extremity.

Conditions

Shoulder Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Side-to-side differences in the unilateral seated shot put test (normalized distance thrown, in centimeters)

  The unilateral seated shot put test consists of pushing (not throwing) at shoulder height a \~3kg medicine ball as far and forward as possible while keeping the axial skeleton in contact with a wall, knees bent at a right angle, feet flat on the floor, and the non-testing arm resting on the lap.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Side-to-side differences in the upper quarter Y balance test (normalized maximal distance reached in each direction, in centimeters)

  The upper quarter Y balance test is performed through the assistance of a testing device (Y-Balance Test Kit), with the subject stabilizing his/her body weight with the upper extremity being tested while performing maximal reaching efforts with the free hand in three directions: medial, superolateral, and inferolateral.

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (sports module)

  A self-reported measure of upper extremity functioning

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcomes (6)

• Side-to-side differences in 3-dimensional scapular angular displacement (in degrees)

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Side-to-side differences in 3-dimensional humerus angular displacement (in degrees)

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Side-to-side differences in 3-dimensional thoracic angular displacement (in degrees)

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Visual Numeric Rating Scale score (0-10)

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

• Side-to-side differences in the upper quarter Y balance test (total excursion, in centimeters)

  Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Study Arms (2)

Asympt. athletes / scapular dyskinesis

Asymptomatic volleyball attackers involved in competitive events ≥ 2 years and with clinical evidence of scapula dyskinesis

Behavioral: Performance measures of the upper extremity

Symptom. athletes / scapular dyskinesis

Symptomatic volleyball attackers involved in competitive events ≥ 2 years and with clinical evidence of scapula dyskinesis

Behavioral: Performance measures of the upper extremity

Interventions

Performance measures of the upper extremity BEHAVIORAL

Athletes will perform the unilateral seated shot put test (USSPT) and the upper quarter Y balance test (UQYBT) bilaterally.

Asympt. athletes / scapular dyskinesis; Symptom. athletes / scapular dyskinesis

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 40 Years
• Sex: all

Study Population

Athletes from sports organizations involved in competitive events with pain and disability in the shoulder region

You may qualify if:

• subjects who can perform at least 150 degrees of arm elevation

You may not qualify if:
