Summary

The aims of this study are to investigate the effects of scapular muscle fatigue on scapular joint position sense and neuromuscular performance (scapular muscle strength, the kinematics data and muscle activity of shoulder during scaption (arm elevation in the scapular plane)). The investigators hypothesize that scapular muscle fatigue would increase scapular reposition error and affect neuromuscular performance of the scapular during scaption.

Conditions

• Muscle; Fatigue

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	muscle fatigue	Modified push-up plus exercise: the participants first supported by both knees and the single elbow, and then performed sustained scapular protraction for three minutes with ten repetitions in males and two minutes with five repetitions in females with forty-five seconds rest between.
