PURPOSE : This study of 20 healthy male subjects by applying various scapular stabilization exercise to compared Serratus anterior and lower trapezius is change in ultrasound images. METHOD : Thirty healthy subjects voluntarily participated in this study. Ultrasound imaging was recorded from the increasing the activity of Serratus anterior(SA) and Lower trapezius(LT) muscles using Push-up plus, Wall slide, Scapular plane shoulder elevation with resistance exercise. Thickness changes in the Serratus anterior(SA) and lower trapezius(LT) muscles between the relaxed and contracted states in the each exercises. To identify statistical significance, one-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used with the significance level of .05. RESULT : The results of this study were as follows : 1) There were statistically significant difference in thickness changes in the Serratus anterior(SA) and lower trapezius(LT) muscles between the relaxed and contracted states in the each exercises. 2) The Scapular plane shoulder elevation with resistance is more effective to Strengthening in the scapular stabilization muscles than Push up-plus and Wall slide. CONCLUSION : The Scapular plane shoulder elevation with resistance may be used to effectively that patient with various shoulder pain.
