Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between rotation of the humerus and the shoulder movement in the sagital, coronal, and diagonal planes. Thirty normal subjects(15 male. 15 female)were tested using Cybex NORMTM Testing & Rehabilitation System (CYBEX Division of LUMEX, Inc., Ronkinkoma, New York). The subjects performed active shoulder flexion, abduction and PNF patterns. The range of motion(ROM) of the glenohumeral joint was measured three times. In order to assure the statistical significance of the results. the independent t-test. and a pearson's correlation were applied of the .05 and .01 level of significant. The results of this study were as follow ;1. There were statistically significant differences between shoulder flexion with humerus medial rotation and shoulder flexion with humerus lateral rotation(p <.01). 2. There were statistically significant differences between shoulder abduction with humerus medial rotation and shoulder abduction with humerus lateral rotation(p <.01). 3. There were statistically significant differences between PNF pattern(flex-abd-ext rot) with humerus medial rotation and PNF pattern with humerus lateral rotation(p < .01).For effective rehabilitation of the shoulder, physical therapists must have correct knowledge of shoulder movements. Physical therapists should consider these results when the goal of treatment is to increase ROM of the shoulder.
