Motor Control Cranio-Cervical Retraining Notice the difference between the previous slide
Motor Control Scapular Positioning and Scapulohumeral Rhythm Common Faults Corrections Scapular Anterior Tilt (Inferior Angle Winging) Scapular Internal Rotation (Medial Border Winging) Scapular Downward Rotation Scapular Posterior Tilting Scapular External Rotation Scapular Upward Rotation
Motor Control Scapular Positioning and Scapulohumeral Rhythm
Motor Control Scapular Positioning Notice the inferior angle winging
Motor Control Scapular Positioning Shoulder back AND down to prevent winging This facilitates posterior scapular tilting
Motor Control Scapular Positioning Shoulder back AND down to prevent winging Lift hands into the air
Motor Control Scapular Positioning Shoulder back AND down to prevent winging 90 degrees abduction
Motor Control Scapular Positioning Notice how the upper trapezius are trying to take over. Ensure they stay relaxed and the lower trapezius does all the work
Motor Control Scapular Positioning Shoulder back AND down to prevent winging 110 degrees abduction so humerus is in line with fibres of lower trapezius
Motor Control Scapular Positioning Notice how rotation of the lumbar spine is occurring. The lumbar paraspinals could be trying to help stabilise or there may be a restriction in shoulder flexion due to reduced thoracic extension or latissimus dorsi tightness.
Motor Control Scapular Positioning- Medial Rotation during glenohumeral elevation Encourage serratus anterior activity in a closed chain with protraction of the shoulder blade to prevent winging
Motor Control Scapular Positioning- Medial Rotation during glenohumeral elevation Encourage serratus anterior activity and slide arms up wall. Maintain serratus activity to promote upwards and external scapular rotation
