![]() ![]() ![]() The scapular dyskinesis test was performed prior to and during the last five repetitions of the fatiguing protocol. Shoulder musculature strength measurements were recorded prior to and immediately after the fatigue protocol using a handheld dynamometry. Cadets performed 30 repetitions of weighted shoulder motion in the frontal plane. Participants completed patient-reported outcome forms prior to testing. Methods: Fourteen Army ROTC cadets (172.6 ± 10 cm, 77.1 ± 11.7 Kg, 5 females, 9 males) participated in the research study. The hypothesis was that ROTC cadets with scapular dyskinesis will score lower on the standing power throw, two minutes T-pushups, and the hanging leg tucks. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between scapular dyskinesis and ROTC Cadets scores on three exercises of the ACFT (leg tuck, power throw, and T-pushups). ![]() Alterations to normal scapular kinematics have been connected to shoulder pain/injuries. 1 Fatigue of the shoulder and scapular musculature has been reported to lead to alterations in scapular kinematics. Recently, the US Army changed their physical fitness test to the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) which is a more full body, functional, and fatiguing test. Background: The increasing rate of shoulder pain and injury in the US military can cause an impact on a soldier’s ability to pass their fitness tests, affect their overall combat readiness, and lead to an increasing amount spent on medical treatment. ![]()
