Resumo

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of scapular dyskinesis and its interaction with hand dominance and humerothoracic angles on three-dimensional scapular kinematics in asymptomatic individuals in all planes of arm motion. Methods: Forty-five asymptomatic participants, seventeen men and twenty-eight women, were separated into two groups: with (n = 22) and without scapular dyskinesis (n = 23) according to the Yes/No classification. Scapular kinematic data of dominant and non-dominant sides in both groups were measured with an electromagnetic tracking device during arm elevation and lowering phases in scapular, frontal and sagittal planes. A linear mixed model of covariance adjusted for age and BMI was used, which included hand dominance (dominant and non-dominant), group (with and without scapular dyskinesis), angles (30 degrees, 60 degrees, 90 degrees, and 120 degrees), and the interaction effect (group x hand dominance x humerothoracic angle). Results: There was a significant interaction effect on scapular anterior tilt and upward rotation in the sagittal plane, and for internal rotation and anterior tilt in the frontal and scapular planes. The effects of hand dominance on three-dimensional scapular kinematics, as increased anterior tilt, internal rotation and upward rotation, were greater in individuals without scapular dyskinesis. Conclusion: The effects of dominant side as increased upward rotation, internal rotation, and anterior tilt at higher humerothoracic angles for all planes of arm motion, were greater in individuals without scapular dyskinesis. Our findings may assist the scapular assessment which in individuals without scapular dyskinesis, bilaterally, possible between side differences in the scapular motions may be related to a dominance effect.
