Abstract

Background: This study aimed to evaluate supraspinatus weakness in patients with scapular dyskinesis. Aims: To find the number of patients having supraspinatus weakness (scapular dyskinesis patients). Methods: For this study, the source of the population was scapular dyskinesia volunteered to participate after signing an informed consent form, to be eligible for this study. Ages between 20-50 were included. Subjects who had any previous history of injury to the shoulder joint were excluded. Results: The empty can test is a reliable method for assessing patients diagnosed with supraspinatus. Discussion: Type I or inferior dysfunction: The main external visual characteristic is the prominence of the inferior angle, caused by the anterior tilting of the scapula in the sagittal plane. Type 2 or medial dysfunction: The main external visual feature is the prominence of the entire medial scapular border, resulting from the internal rotation of the scapula in the transverse plane. Conclusions: We found that 36% of individuals, both male and female, have supraspinatus weakness. The strength of the muscle was also impacted.
