ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
It has been suggested that sitting posture affects clavicular, scapular and spinal kinematics, however its effects in people with neck pain and scapular dysfunction remain unknown. The study aimed to determine the clavicular and scapular kinematics in different sitting postures in patients with neck pain and scapular dysfunction.METHODS:
Thirty-four participants with neck pain and scapular dysfunction were recruited into the study. Kinematics of the clavicle and scapula were recorded using motion analysis at rest and during arm elevation (at 30, 60, 90, and 120 degrees) in a slouched and upright sitting posture.RESULTS:
Compared to the upright sitting posture, the slouched sitting posture had increased clavicular protraction and elevation as well as scapular internal rotation and anterior tilt at rest and during the arm raising and lowering phases (at 30, 60, 90, and 120 degrees) (p < 0.05). The slouched sitting also had increased scapular upward rotation in the lowering phase at all angles (p < 0.05).SIGNIFICANCE:
The slouched sitting posture has a significant influence on clavicular and scapular kinematics. Awareness of good sitting posture should be encouraged in patients with neck pain and scapular dysfunction.Palabras clave
