Presença de retroversão umeral e discinesia escapular em praticantes de tiro de laço

Objective:  The objective of the present study was to evaluate the presence of humeral retroversion and scapular dyskinesis in these practitioners.

Methods:  This cross-sectional study enrolled 129 subjects. The state of dyskinesis, muscle strength, range of motion, level of functionality and shoulder pain were evaluated.

Results:  The external rotation was higher (p = 0,005) and minor internal rotation on the dominant shoulder (p = 0,0001). The total movement of the dominant shoulder was lower, compared to the non-dominant (p = 0.0001). The presence of Scapular dyskinesis was 32,6%, predominantly type II dyskinesis (50%). The Spadi score was significantly higher in those with pain symptoms (p <0.05).

Conclusion:  People who practice tie-down roping showed humeral retroversion on the dominant shoulder and higher prevalence of scapular dyskinesis.
