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.

What happens when the Software or Hardware becomes faulty?
Stability
Ability to maintain or control joint movement or position
Mobility
Possessing uninhibited 3-D ROM around a joint or body segment
Must Never Compromise Each Other

Examining the Body as One
Movement
MovementWhat 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-dogWhy?
Movement and InjuriesWhat 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 !
80 – 90 % of all adults 200,000 ACL injuries/year. 70 – 75 % non-contact.
21 % of population with 40% persisting < 1 year
$100 billion annually $650 million (surgery + rehabilitation)
$39 billion annually
Sport & Exercise-related Injuries
Injuries in Recreational & Sports Facilities
Sprain/Strain-type Injuries
1997 13.4% of all injuries 11.6% of all injuries 26.4% of all injuries
2007 17.9% of all injuries 15.0% of all injuries 30.7% of all injuries
Look at popular programs since 2004 – What will happen to injuries between 2007 and 2017?
Movement MechanicsSpecifics: 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 MechanicsSpecifics: 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 MechanicsSpecifics: 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.
Force-Coupling VectorsDirection, Magnitude and Timing Movement application?
Scapulohumeral Rhythm
• 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 RhythmScaption 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
Movement: 0 – 15° Movement: 0 – 15°

Programming Pre-Requisites/ScreensWall Screen: Overhead Reach
• Contact Points: Heels, butt, shoulder blades.• Shoulder Flexion to OH position.
o Approx. 170 - 180° movemento Increased lumbar lordosis
Overhead Squat• Arms elevated overhead:
o Stresses musculature @ shoulder complex. o Increases core stabilizing muscle-demand.

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
Pre-requisite: Lumbar Stability
Phase One:
Promote Thoracic Mobility
Phase Two:
Promote Scapulo-thoracic Stability
Phase Three
Promote Integrated Function
Corrective Exercise-Movement Quality
Phase One: Promote Thoracic Mobility• Address planes sequentially:
o Sagittal Plane 1sto Frontal Plane 2ndo 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).

Phase Two: Promote ST Stability
• Focus: ST position & control (stability), not GH movemento 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”)

Phase Two: Promote ST Stability
• Progress to CKC: Example: o Packed Quadruped Loading – progressions
Loading and 3-D weight shifts Off-set hand position Elbow extension Lengthen moment arm Unstable Surfaces
o Scapular Clocks - hand fixed, change scapular loading positions. 12 o’clock (depression). 6 o’clock (elevation) 3 o’clock (retraction) 9 o’clock (protraction)
