In the motion of shoulder flexion(0-90 degree), the scapula was upward rotated at the center of acromioclaviclular joint. In the abduction, the scapula was upward rotated and depressed with the clavicle elevation and retraction. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the muscle functions around the scapula by electromyographic analysis during the flexion and abduction of the shoulder. EMG activities of upper, middle, and inferior trapezius muscle, and serratus anterior, were examined in 5 static positions from 0 degrees to 150 degrees for 5 seconds in each position during exercises of shoulder flexion and abduction in 6 healthy volunteers. We used Telemyo System 2400(Noraxon USA Inc) and analyzed by MyoVideo and MyoResearch. The relative activity of upper trapezius muscle did not increase, and the muscle activity of serratus anterior was increased significantly during the early phase of flexion. The relative activity of upper, middle trapezius muscle has gradually increased during the early phase of abduction. The scapular upward rotation pattern was different between that in flexion and abduction. This study indicated that the symptom of accessory nerve palsy is disorder of abduction, and the main symptom of long thoracic nerve palsy is the inhibition of shoulder flexion.

Shrug exercise, which is one of the treatments for stiff shoulder and rotator cuff tear, is commonly performed. This exercise is also performed to relax the shoulder after surgery for rotator cuff repair. The effectiveness of shrug exercise for the rotator cuff has not been analyzed. The purpose of this study was to analyze the shrug exercise and to evaluate the usefulness of the shrug. Five asymptomatic male volunteers who had no history of shoulder abnormalities were examined. SSP (supraspinatus) muscle was measured by fine-wire electrodes and ISP (infraspinatus) muscle was measured by surface electrodes. At the time of non-shrug (group N) and shrug (group S), %MVC (maximal voluntary contraction) was calculated in the position of 0, 30, 60, 90 degrees flexion. %MVC of SSP in the position of 0,30,60,90 degrees flexion were 2,8,13,15% in group N, and 32,35,23,32% in group S. %MVC of SSP were increased at each angle. %MVC of ISP were 6,16,25,38% in group N, and 10,17,25,42% in group S. It has been reported that %MVC over 20% is high activity. %MVC of SSP showed over 20% at shrug position in this study, which was considered that shrug motion caused eccentric contraction of SSP muscle with the scapula elevating. From this study, it is considered that shrug excise is useful for cuff training, but may be overloaded on SSP in the early stage after surgery.

Accessory nerve pasly and long thoracic nerve palsy are common causes of a winged scapula. This study was designed to examine the three-dimensional movement of the scapula in them.<br>Six accessory nerve palsy patients and five long thoracic nerve palsy patients were examined.<br>The active arm elevation was allowed in both the sagittal and scapular planes. Eight points were determined as marking points of the spine, the sternum, the clavicle, the scapula and the humerus which were identified every thirty degrees. These were recorded on three VCRs. A threedimensional analysis system (ARIEL^TM) was employed. The affected and unaffected sides were measured before and after therapy, when possible.<br>In patients with accessory nerve palsy, the scapula (glenoid cavity) rotated downward (the downward rotation) in the early phase of arm elevation in the scapular plane. At the same time, the subscapular fossa tilted upward (the upward tilt) and the subscapular fossa tilted medially. In patients with long thoracic nerve palsy, on the other hand, the downward rotation and the upward tilt of the scapula were marked by a forward flexion. When the paralysis was restored, the scapular movement changed to a similar pattern to that of the unaffected side. This method is useful for the quantitative evaluation of the abnormality and the improvement of accessory nerve palsy and long thoracic nerve palsy.
