What Do You Want to Learn?
Learning Outcomes:
• Describe the overall function of the human body in
movement.
• Explain primary components of human movement
science.
• Administer and interpret an upper extremity
movement screen.
• Implement a simple UE corrective exercise program.
• Instruct proper mechanics for UE movements.
Movement
• Fundamental trait we all share – improve movement efficiency.
o Requires appropriate levels of simultaneous stability and
mobility.
Stability
Must Never Compromise Each Other
Ability to maintain or control joint
movement or position
Mobility
Possessing uninhibited 3-D ROM
around a joint or body segment
What happens when the Software
or Hardware becomes faulty?
Movement
Examining the Body as One
Glenohumeral = Mobile
Scapulo-thoracic Region = Stable
Thoracic Spine = Mobile
Lumbar Spine = Stable
Hips = Mobile
Knee = Stable
Ankle = Mobile
Foot = Stable
Movement
What Happens if the Body Loses / Lacks this Relationship?
• Step One: Law of Facilitation = ‘Dyskinesis’
o Compensation: Compromised stability to facilitate mobility.
o Compensation: Movement into other planes.
 Example: Bird-dog
 Why?
Movement and Injuries
What Happens if the Body Loses / Lacks this Relationship?
• Step Two: Loss of stability = injury potential.
o Chronic overuse injuries versus acute injuries.
Low back – stable !
Knees – stable !
Shoulder girdle – stable !

Movement Mechanics
Specifics: Shoulder Abduction
Frontal Plane Action
Application:
•
•
Internally rotate the arms and abduct as high as possible – notice end ROM.
Externally rotate the arms and abduct as high as possible – notice end ROM.
Difference?
•
Impingement of greater tuberosity (humerus) against coracoid process (scapula) - space is generally small
(~ 5-10 mm).
Implications for Movement:
•
Caution against excess shoulder abduction with internal rotation = bursitis and tendonitis (supraspinatus
and biceps long head).
•
Example: Upright rows, front and lateral raises.
Movement Mechanics
Specifics: Shoulder Abduction
Scaption Plane Action
Application:
•
•
Perform a lateral raise movement with the arms in the frontal plane – notice any resistance to movement?
Perform a lateral raise movement with the arms 30° forward in the frontal plane – notice any resistance to
movement?
Difference?
•
With arms 30° forward to frontal plane, greater tuberosity falls in line with highest point of coraco-acromial
arch - experiencing least amount of resistance.
Implications for Movement:
•
•
Perform lateral raises with slight external rotation or forward 30° in frontal plane.
Example: Moving from 3 / 9 o’clock position to 4 / 8 o’clock position for shoulder flexion exercises (press,
lat pull-down, lateral raises).
Movement Mechanics
Specifics: Overhead Press
Frontal Plane Action
Application:
•
•
Three heads offer anterior, middle and posterior containment of shoulder (lowered position).
Place index finger and thumb over origin and insertion points of anterior deltoid - perform overhead raise
movement.
Difference?
•
•
Observe external rotation of humerus - changes muscle’s orientation.
Arm lowering - no anterior stabilizer to prevent anterior humeral displacement (exacerbated with behind
the head presses).
Implications for Movement:
•
Overhead positions – External humeral rotation creates no anterior containment beyond passive structures
– need to engage lats as stabilizers.
Scapulohumeral Rhythm
Force-Coupling Vectors
Direction, Magnitude and Timing
•
Movement application?
180° abduction - scapular and glenohumeral (GH) joint movement ratio
= ~ 2-to-1.
o 2° of GH motion for every 1° of scapular motion (120°-to-60° ratio).
•
True scapulae movement = 45 – 60° upward rotation coupled with:
o 20 – 40° posterior tilt.
o 15 – 35° external rotation.
o All designed to reduce encroachment into sub-acromial space.
Scapulohumeral Rhythm
Scaption Plane Action
Glenoid fossa (GF) is ⅓ size of the gleno-humeral head (GH)
•
•
Golf ball & tee analogy - labrum increases socket depth by 50 %.
Due to GF-GH shape, rotator cuffs (RC) collectively coordinate GF-GH movement:
o Compress, depress, stabilize and steer the humeral head within socket - constrained within 1-2
mm of center of glenoid fossa (creates ICR).
o Also function to clear humerus from acromion process.
RC muscles play important role in initiating movement and facilitating humeral inferior glide.
Muscle
Function
Supraspinatus
Abduction + compression/depression during arm
elevation + slight external rotation (ER).
Infraspinatus +
Teres Minor
ER + compression/depression during arm
elevation.
Subscapularis
Internal rotation (IR) + compression/depression
during arm elevation
Scapulohumeral Rhythm
Supraspinatus = inward / upward pull
Movement: 0 – 15°
Infraspinatus + Teres Minor +
Subscapularis = inward / downward
Glide
pull
Deltoids = primary agonist
Movement: ~ 15° +
Abduction
RC Group = stabilizers

• Contact Points: Heels, butt, shoulder blades.
• Shoulder Flexion to OH position.
o Approx. 170 - 180° movement
o Increased lumbar lordosis

• Where to start?
Segmental Corrective
Exercise
Corrective Exercise-Movement Quality
• Scapula dyskinesis: Represents imbalance in stability-mobility relationship.
o Ineffective joint positioning; general lack of neuromuscular control of scapulae
(altered muscle activation patterns).
Causes - Examples
Inappropriate or
deficient training
Repetitive
trauma (overuse)
Improper posture
/ poor positioning
Structural /
congenital issues
Degenerative
changes
Shoulder Program Overall Goal
Improve parascapular stability – promote T-spine mobility & movement efficiency
Corrective Exercise-Movement Quality
Phase One: Promote Thoracic Mobility
•
Address planes sequentially:
o Sagittal Plane 1st
o Frontal Plane 2nd
o Transverse Plane 3rd – most problematic.
Never compromise lumbar stability !! – demonstration
•
Thoracic Spine:
o Supine foam-roller.
o Supine arm movement – short-to-long lever (progress to prone – short lever).
 Examples: Alphabets – “I”, “Y”
o Spinal twists with rib-grab.
o Thoracic matrix (Gary Gray).
Corrective Exercise-Movement Quality
Phase Two: Promote ST Stability
• Focus: ST position & control (stability), not GH movement
o Parascapular muscles best stabilized with CKC exercises (joint
compression – muscles function as stabilizers).
o Too challenging initially?
o Start with OKC exercises
o Use supported surfaces (e.g., floor, wall) + kinesthetic
feedback ‘feel’
 Shoulder Packing (reduce scapular elevation)
 Reverse Codman’s – short lever (alphabets)
 Supine Letters – short lever (“I-Y-T-W”, “Wipers”)
Retract
Depress
