Brief Summary

The aim of this study evaluate the effects of dominant and non-dominant pectoralis minor (PM) length on scapular and core muscle endurance in the absence of scapular dyskinesia.

Conditions

Pectoralis Minor Length

Keywords

pectoralis minor length; scapular muscle endurance; core muscle endurance; dominant arm

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Pectoralis Minor Length and Index

  PM length was measured with a caliper. The distance between the starting (origin) and ending (insertion) points of the PM muscle was measured, with the participant in supine position and the shoulder joint free.Pectoralis minor index (PMI) was obtained by dividing the PM length recorded in cm by the person's weight and multiplying the result by 100. PMI was determined by dividing the obtained value by weight

  10 minutes

• Scapular Dyskinesia

  The lateral scapular slide test (LSST) was used to evaluate scapular dyskinesia. The distance between the inferior angle of the scapula and the closest vertebral spinous process in the standing upright position was bilaterally measured using a tape measure in three different positions

  15 minutes

• Scapular Muscle Endurance

  Scapular muscle endurance was evaluated with the scapular isometric compression test. The participants were asked to stand upright with their arms on their sides and bring both shoulder blades closer together by maintaining this position as long as they could

  10 minutes

• Core Muscle Endurance

  This evaluation was performed using McGill's torso muscular endurance test battery consisting of endurance tests in the trunk flexion, trunk extension (Sorensen), and right/left side bridge positions
