Results: There was statistically significant difference between swimmers with and without SD in shoulder flexion muscle strength in both females and males (respectively, p
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Background and Purpose: The aim of this study was (a) to investigate whether presence of scapular dyskinesis (SD) differs by gender in asymptomatic young swimmers and (b) to compare shoulder muscle strength between asymptomatic young swimmers with and without SD.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Methods: Fifty-six asymptomatic young swimmers (mean age:10.35y; 22 females; 34 males) were included in the study.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:Results: There was statistically significant difference between swimmers with and without SD in shoulder flexion muscle strength in both females and males (respectively, p
Background and Purpose: The aim of this study was (a) to investigate whether presence of scapular dyskinesis (SD) differs by gender in asymptomatic young swimmers and (b) to compare shoulder muscle strength between asymptomatic young swimmers with and without SD. Methods: Fifty-six asymptomatic young swimmers (mean age:10.35y; 22 females; 34 males) were included in the study. The presence of SD was determined visually using SD test with dichotomous outcome (yes/no). The shoulder muscle strength was assessed via handheld dynamometer. Results: There was statistically significant difference between swimmers with and without SD in shoulder flexion muscle strength in both females and males (respectively, p
