Meanings of scapular kinematics in English

Longitudinal monitoring of a subject's scapular kinematics by a trained observer is reliable.

The aim of the study was to examine the presence of shoulder pain and scapular kinematics in professional wheelchair tennis players.

Inter-session intra and inter-observer repeatability of 3D scapular kinematics have only been partially assessed for analytical movements and never for functional tasks.

Interpretation: This first study of scapular kinematics in professional wheelchair tennis athletes demonstrated bilateral asymmetries and differences to able-bodied participants with shoulder impingement.

The results of the study demonstrate the potential of adopting a multivariate approach in objective classification of participants with altered scapular kinematics in pathological groups.
