Abstract

Introduction: Changes in shoulder girdle and scapula are connected and as mentioned shoulder girdle position deviation is associated with muscle imbalance around the shoulder. The purpose of present study was to investigate the relationship between Pectoralis minor and SCAPULA INDEXes after a period of strength stretching exercises in people with FORWARD SHOULDER POSTURE.Materials and Methods: Twenty female students (9-12 years old) with FORWARD SHOULDER POSTURE were recruited for this study. They were diagnosed using checker plate among all female students and randomly selected to participate in this research. All subjects signed the consent form and also completed questionnaire forms. Main variables were measured as follow: FORWARD SHOULDER POSTURE using a double square instrument (distance between shoulder acromion process and wall), Distance between the midpoint of Sternal notch (SN) to coracoid process (CP) and posterolateral acromion (PLA) to thoracic spine (TS) SCAPULA INDEX measurement. Distance between the midpoint of CP and the third to fifth ribs (Pectoralis minor muscle length).Height of subjects to measure PECTORALIS MINOR INDEX using tape. Subjects divided into two control and experimental homogenized groups according to shoulder distance from the wall. Experimental groups performed selected six-week strength-stretching exercises. All individuals in control group did not receive any intervention. Data were analyzed using SPSS, version 16.Results: Data analysis showed that exercises in experimental group led to significant reduction FORWARD SHOULDER POSTURE (P<0.05). Data showed an improvement in; distance from SN to CP (P=0.024), PECTORALIS MINOR INDEX (P=0.019), and SCAPULA INDEX (P=0.023). There was no significant effect in distance variable from TS to PLA. A good and positive relationship was observed between indexes of shoulder and pectoralis minor (P<0.050).Conclusion: It can be concluded that performing a course of CORRECTIVE EXERCISES may improve shoulder position, scapula and PECTORALIS MINOR INDEXes in people with FORWARD SHOULDER POSTURE and also led to high positive correlative in scapula and PECTORALIS MINOR INDEXes. So, we can suggest putting some selective strengthening exercises in therapy sessions to increase shoulder muscle strength in people with FORWARD SHOULDER POSTURE.
