3. “HYPER-ANGULATION”
1. Anterior instability
Excessive humeral head
translations
2. Posterior shoulder stiffness
Alterations of glenohumeral
kinematics
3. Scapular dyskinesis:
Insufficient scapular retraction
during cocking

8. POSTERIOR SHOULDER
STRETCHING
Sleeper’s stretch & cross body
stretch improve ROM (Mc Clure
2005)
Additional manual mobilisations
improve ROM (Manske 2010,
Cools 2011)
Improvement ROM is related to
reduction of symptoms (Tyler
2010)

9. STRETCHING G.I.R.D.:
influence on the subacromial space?
Measurements:
- Acromiohumeral distance (Echoblaster 128; Telemed, Vilnius,
Lithuania)
- Glehonumeral ROM (Acumar inclinometer)
Quantifying acromiohumeral distance in overhead athletes with glenohumeral
internal rotation loss and the Ann Cools Wrightington nov 2012
influence of a stretching program. Maenhout A,

Scapular Rehab Algorithm
Lack of Lack of
Soft-tissue flexibility Muscle performance
Scapular muscles GH muscles/capsule Muscle Control Muscle Strength
- Levator scapulae - infraspinatus - co-contraction - lower/middle trap
- pectoralis minor - posterior capsule - force couples - serratus anterior
15. Stretching pectoralis minor: literature
Borstad et al. JOSPT 2005: short PM
influences scapular kinematics and induces
changes similar to impingement related
dyskinesis
Cools & Johansson BJSM 2010: significant
decrease PM length in elite junior (11-17yr)
tennis players
Reeser PM&R 2010: tight PM is associated
with history of shoulder pain in volleyball
players
Borstad et al. JSES 2006: unilateral self
stretch (in 90° ABER) best results,

20. Scapular muscle control during basic daily
activities: external rotation component!

21. Results 5 weeks
treatment
Basic clinical exam is (-)
Scapular control increased, however not
sufficient
No pain during (beach) volleyball, however
no full return to sport (season)
Working on other links of the kinetic chain
(very poor pelvic stability, contol during
squat...)
Continue self-stretching
