Electromyography
of Shoulder and Scapular Musculature During Progressive Elevation
Exercises - Gaunt BW, Uhl TL, Humphrey

Limited evidence exists that delineates muscular
demands of exercises used by clinicians to promote full active
forward elevation. EMG activity of shoulder and scapular muscles
were studied during twelve common clinical exercises to delineate
a progression in the demand on the musculature toward active forward
elevation. Results revealed significant differences between muscles
during the exercises and supports a delineation when working toward
active forward elevation.
This research was supported in part by a grant
from the McCluskey Education & Research Foundation, Inc.
