Background: Scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS) is a common scapular alignment impairment that causes insufficient upward rotation and muscle imbalance, shortened levator scapulae (LS) and rhomboid, and lengthened serratus anterior (SA) and trapezius. A modified shrug exercise (MSE), performing a shrug exercise with the shoulders at $150^{\circ}$ abduction, is known as an effective exercise to increase scapular stabilizer muscle activation. Previous studies revealed that scapular exercise are more effective when combined with trunk stabilization exercises in decreasing scapular winging and increasing scapular stabilizer muscle activation. Objects: The purpose of our study was to clarify the effect of MSE with or without trunk stabilization exercises in subjects with SDRS. Methods: Eighteen volunteer subjects (male=10, female=8) with SDRS were recruited for this experiment. All subjects performed MSE under 3 different conditions: (1) MSE, (2) MSE with an abdominal draw-in maneuver (ADIM), and (3) MSE with an abdominal expansion maneuver (AEM). The muscle thickness of the lower trapezius (LT) and the SA were measured using an ultrasonography in each condition. Electromyography (EMG) data were collected from the LT, LS, SA, and upper trapezius (UT) muscle activities. Data were statistically analysed using one-way repeated analysis of variance at a significance level of .05. Results: The muscle thickness of the LT and the SA were the significant different in the MSE, MSE with ADIM (MSE+ADIM) and MSE with AEM (MSE+AEM) conditions (p<.05) In both LT and SA, the order of thick muscle thickness was MSE+AEM, MSE+ADIM, and MSE alone. No significant differences were found in the EMG activities of the SA, UT, LS, and LT in all condition. Conclusion: In conclusion, MSE is more beneficial to people with SDRS when combined with trunk stabilization exercises by increased thickness of scapular stabilizer muscles.

Osteochondromas, the most common tumor of the scapula, are one type of bone abnormality that may cause symptomatic scapula pseudowinging. This type of scapula winging is structural and maybe associated with significant scapula crepitus. We describe a case of a scapular solitary osteochondroma, arised from the ventral surface of the scapula in a 15-year-old boy, produced pseudowinging and scapula crepitus. The winging and scapula crepitus are alleviated with resection of the bony abnormality.

본 연구의 목적은 지지 면이 다른 조건(안정, 상지 불안정, 하지 불안정, 상하지 불안정)에서의 푸시업 플러스운동이 어깨 안정근의 근 활성도에 미치는 영향을 비교 하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 18명의 정상인이 자발적인 참여를 했다. 측정 방법은 지지 면이 다른 조건에서 푸시압 플러스를 수행 하는 동안 위세모근, 큰가슴근, 앞톱니근을 표면 근전도로 기록 하였다. 연구 대상자에게는 총 7일 동안 측정을 실시하였다. 결과 값은 푸쉬업 플러스를 실시한 실효치 값의 평균으로 제시하였다. 분석 방법은 반복 측정된 일원배치 분산분석을 이용하였다. 그 결과 위세모근과, 큰가슴근은 다른 조건의 지지 면과의 비교에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다(p>.05). 하지만 앞톱니근에서는 상하지가 불안정한 조건일 때 푸쉬업 플러스 운동을 하는 동안 근 활성도가 가장 많이 향상되었다(p<.05). 따라서 본 연구에서는 어깨의 안정성을 향상시키기 위한 푸쉬업 플러스 운동 방법으로는 상 하지가 모두 불안정한 지지 면을 제공 할 때 가장 효과적 이였다.
