Official Title: Kinematics and Muscle Activation of Thoracic Spine and Shoulder in Rock Climbers with Shoulder Pain
Brief Summary:
Background and Purpose: Rock climbing has been a popular sport in recent years.Rock climbing includes various open-chain and closed-chain arm movements.Overhead reaching and pull-up are the basic rock climbing elements heavily involving upper extremities.Different inclination of the wall and terrain also demand sufficient range of motion and strength of the trunk.Generally overhead reaching and arm elevation may have similar shoulder kinematics, including scapular upward rotation, posterior tilt and external…
