For those who've never heard of this before: Upper Trapezuis - trapezius pars descendans Middle Trapezius - trapezius pars transversa Lower Trapezius - trapezius pars ascendens Btw wonderful video, really helpful!

True, maybe that should have been clarified. We used the latin nomenclature.

Incredible simple and clear explanation. Thank you!!

PERFECT. I study for my Pilates course and this is the best information. With all examples af ways of movements and all. Thanks a lot!!! I will follow with interest.

do some videos how to engage lower traps and serratus stabilizer for exercises to glide scapula around thorax and during pushup chin up military press etc how to engage them please

It seems like motor control exercises for the scapular most probably don't alter kinematics: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26847012. So we'd rather focus on general strengthening of the scapular muscles: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mKqa1Lxmf9O7d5M.html

Thanks for the video, I have a right downward rotated scapula and i'm trying to reinforce my right upper trap. Why do you say that this could be caused by a short levator scapulae? Shouldn't be the opposite? A short levator shouldn't pull my scapula up?

@Physiotutors

5 жыл бұрын

If you look at the axis of rotation of the scapula you can see that it is a downward rotator of the scapula. It does pull the scapula up though, that's correct and is another function of this muscle.

@@Physiotutors Hello ! It is ok to abuse levator muscles for downward rotation to get more range of motion etc ?

Can I ask how to tell the difference between 4:32 Superior Angle+ACT elevated and 4:38 Entire Scapular spine elevated ? I really appreciate if someone can answer for me.

can u talk about scapular dislocation thank u

Sir PL make color musle pictures to understand it better.

(With inferior angle dyskinesia in mind) would it be fair to reason that static dyskinesia is more likely due to hypertonicity while dynamic dyskinesia might be due to muscle weakness (especially in the eccentric phase)?

@Physiotutors

6 жыл бұрын

don't know what you mean with inferior angle dyskinesia but for example winging (static) can be apparent with a lesion of the long thoracic nerve which results in the complete opposite of hypertonicity. I could agree with your second statement that impaired strength could alter kinematics though we know that (despite maybe in overhead athletes) scapula dyskinesia is not evident in the general population

4:04 Short Pec major or Pec minor ?

My scapula inferior angle is not really angled outwards but inwards. Been searching for some self rehab but cant seem to find any.

Can be a normal variation. No need to worry about it as no research up to date shows that scapular dyskinesis is linked to the development of shoulder pain except in elite rugby and elite handball players.

weak lower traps can be the reason for dyskinesia ? and overactive upper trap

My scapula misalignment has caused TOS

hi. what about when the medial border of the scapula is prominant? scapula will rotate in the vertical plane. so will the scapula will be abducted or adducted ? nd which muscles will appear to be weak or tight ?

@Physiotutors

5 жыл бұрын

Hi Mahila, what do you mean by vertical plane? With a prominent medial border there is often weakness of the serratus anterior.

hey, in minute 3 you was saying/showing, that the Serratus is also adducting the Scapula? This is really true? I dont find any literature witch says this.

Think the video gives certain example of why a scapula might be "discplaced" in the first place. Strengthen the weaker muscles and stretch the short/stiff muscles. There is no single exercise.

It depends. There are X amount of exercises for what you said. You have to be very specific along with knowing what to do with those exercises and performing them without any compensations.

informative video but couldnt follow it completely due to the poor understanding of the terminologies and scapular tipping movement
