The Influence of the Lower Trapezius Muscle on Shoulder Impingement and Scapula Dyskinesis
… the effect lower trapezius fatigue will have on scapula dyskinesis. Study one consisted of two phases and examined muscle activity in healthy individuals and individuals diagnosed with shoulder impingement. Muscle activity was recorded using an electromyographic (EMG) machine during 7 commonly …

A qualitative and quantitative investigation of the functional morphology of the juvenile scapula
… of developmental morphology of the human scapula and a comprehensive morphological description of trabecular bone in the perinatal scapula. While the aim was originally to describe the changing trabecular morphology in the developing scapula, considerable thought has gone into the design, …

Eine Studie zur Entwicklung der Scapula-Klinge : ein neuer Pfad der Skelett-Entwicklung beim Vogel-Embryo
Die Scapula-Klinge geht aus axialen Strukturen, den Dermomyotomen, hervor. Anhand mikrochirurgischer Operationen am Hühner-Embryo wird der Einfluss umliegender Signalgeber und intrinsischer Positionsinformation auf die Entwicklung der Scapula-Klinge untersucht. Es wird ein Modell vorgeschlagen, …

3D approximation of scapula bone shape from 2D X-ray images using landmark-constrained statistical shape model fitting
… was to develop a tool for 3D approximation of scapula bone from 2D X-ray images using landmark-constrained statistical shape model fitting. First, X-ray stereophotogrammetry was used to reconstruct the 3D coordinates of points located on 2D X-ray images of the scapula, acquired from two …

Do anatomical contoured plates address scapula body, neck, and glenoid fractures and can these fractures be classified? – A multi-observer consensus study
Background: The surgical management of scapula body, neck and glenoid fractures remains a challenge. This study focusses on templating an available anatomical pre-contoured plating system using 3D printed scapulae to assess the ability of these plates to address the aforementioned fractures and to …

Side-to-Side Comparison of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty and Intact Function in Individuals
… or the interface between the humerus and the scapula glenoid. To test TSA success, most prior research compares patients with TSA to healthy controls. However, the shoulder anthropometry, motion, and musculature of individuals varies widely across the population making it important to assess …

Mapping the relationship between morphology and function of the shoulder: implications for human evolution and musculoskeletal injury
… then examined the sources of variation in modern scapula (shoulder blade) shape and found significant differences between male and female scapulae that are not attributable to size-shape relationships. Next, I investigated the interactions among shape, motion, and muscle function and their …

Comparing Shoulder Manual Muscle Testing With Scapular Retraction And Core Activation
… of the body during activity. The core and the scapula are critical kinetic chain links to the upper extremity during overhead motions and should likely be accounted for when performing manual muscle testing of the shoulder. The purpose of this study was to manual muscle test the shoulder with a …

Various Opinions Which Prevailed Among the Fathers of the North African Church Concerning the Treatment to Be Accorded to the Lapsi, as Shown in the Correspondence of Saint Cyprian
… Africa that Tertullian in his famous Apology to Scapula, the Proconsul, could boast that the decimation of the Christians of Carthage would result in a frightful decline in the population of that city.

Factors influencing the Acromio-Humeral distance in elite athletes
… thesis. Correlation analysis between factors (Scapula rotation in the coronal plane, Pectoralis Minor length, Thoracic kyphosis, Glenohumeral rotation and load) with the AHD was done to confirm or refute some of these associations. To accomplish the research: a) reliability of tools and …

Disability Self-Assessment and Upper Quarter Muscle Balance in Females
… flexibility of the upper trapezius and levator scapula was measured using an inclinometer. Passive muscle length testing of the pectoralis major and minor was assessed using the Kendall Technique. Subjects were also instructed to maintain four different positions using isometric muscular …

Computational simulation of bone remodelling post reverse total shoulder arthroplasty
… also shown to be robust. The remodelling of the scapula post reverse shoulder arthroplasty is then investigated. A statistical shape model of the scapula was obtained from collaborators in the Division of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Cape Town. The finite element model was used to …

A cadaveric and magnetic resonance imaging study of the anatomical variations of levator scapulae
Levator scapulae muscle (LSM) is a deep muscle found in the posterior triangle of the neck. It is reported to be a lead cause of neck and shoulder pain and discomfort in patients. The muscle anatomically presents with an average of four muscle slips, originating from the transverse processes of the …

A pilot study on the suitability of the Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) as a measure of emotional state
… GSR monitoring over two skin areas (hand and scapula), whereas a blank screen was used for baseline measurements. The hypothesis behind the study was that having subjects imagining the emotion portrayed by photographs would evoke a GSR change via altered sudomotor activity driven by the …
