SHOULDER KINEMATICS DURING THE PUSH-UP PLUS EXERCISE

摘要

Background and HypothesisThe push-up plus exercise is a common therapeutic exercise for improving shoulder function and treating shoulder pathology. To date, the kinematics of the push-up plus exercise have not been studied. Our hypothesis was that the push-up plus exercise would demonstrate increased scapular internal rotation and increased humeral anterior translation during the plus phase of the exercise, potentially impacting the subacromial space.
