The effect of the skapula stabilization exercises on the clavicula movement adolescent girl

Elpeze G., the effect of the scapula stabilization exercises on the clavicula movement adolescent girl, Hasan Kalyoncu Universty, Institute of Health Sciences, Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Program, Master Thesis, Gaziantep, 2018. This study was planned to indicate efficiacy of the scapula stabilization exercises on the clavicula movements. thirtyseven subject were included in this study. Subjects were randomized into two groups. In the study group, scapula stabilization exercises was applied with physical activity program. In the control group, the physical activity program was applied. All subjects in the study were evaluated for range of motion (Goniometer), muscle strength (Manuel Muscle Strength Test), angular displacements of clavicula during abduction and skapular plan elevation of arm (Video Analysis Method), functional of the upper limb (Quıck Dash Turkish), before and after study. Upper limb functional was increased in two groups. After scapular stabilization exercises with physical activity program in training group particularly non-dominant side clavicular elevation increased during shoulder elevation in scapular plan. Dominant and non-dominant side clavicular elevation increased during shoulder abduction. After exercises program the range of motion of dominant and non-dominant clavicular protraction increased in training group (p<0.05). After scapular stabilization exercises with physical activity program on dominant side both clavicular protraction and retraction ranges were increased also in dominant side clavicular protraction was increased in training group(p<0.05). Clavicula movements occuring at SC joint investigated with GH joint and scapula movements consisting at AC joint is more beneficial for understanding shoulder kinematics. Key words: adolescent, scapular stabilization exercises, biomechanics, shoulder, clavicula, clavicla, motion analysis, kinematics.
