Posture and orthopedic impairments

A lack of muscular development also contributes to a protrusion of the shoulder blades (winged scapula) from the spinal column. This occurs from the lack of shoulder girdle strength and may be corrected by stretching the muscles of the shoulder girdle while strengthening the muscle groups that align the scapula (trapezius and rhomboids).

Some of the disorders causing winged scapula are self-limiting and the condition gradually improves. Even if it doesn’t, disability is usually slight and is best accepted. However, if function is markedly impaired, the scapula can be stabilized by tendon transfer.

Herein, the kinematics model of Garner and Pandy (1999) is used to obtain Appendix A. As a tradeoff between the biological correctness and the computational complexity, (8) are the downscaled version of (A4) and (A6) such that the entire musculoskeletal dynamics system (1) can be simulated in a reasonable amount of time while 1994; Happee and van der Helm 1995; Garner and Pandy 2003; Ambrósio et al. 2011; Chadwick et al. 2014). However, the consideration of skin’s contribution enables the modeling of winged scapula.
Scapula winging secondary to prone plank exercise: a case report

Şükran Güzel, Selin Ozen, Seyhan Sözay
A 37-year-old male teacher with no significant family history presented to the outpatient clinic with shoulder pain and weakness that began three weeks previously. The patient had a past medical of ankylosing spondylitis treated with adalimumab. He had commenced plank exercises for two minutes for the past two months with gradual onset of right shoulder pain and weakness. Physical examination revealed a markedly winged scapula with a positive wall press test (Figure 1) and intact active and passive range of motion of the right shoulder with minimal pain and normal muscle tonus. Deep tendon reflexes of the upper and lower extremities were normoactive, without sensorial deficit.

Researchers have tried to stimulate certain scapular muscles noting the significance of these muscles in normal glenohumeral movement.24,25 The first evidence of successful stimulation of SA muscle to treat winged scapula was reported back in 1953.24 To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study looking at the feasibility of stimulating all three key scapular muscles, i.e. the lower trapezius (LT), the upper trapezius (UT), and serratus anterior (SA) using transcutaneous FES during shoulder elevation movements.
