Abstract

Shoulder girdle motion is complex and involves a synchronous movement of the scapula and humerus. The scapula serves as the platform for humeral motion. Shoulder injuries are common in the course of the student population. A decrease in shoulder strength plays an important role in the decrease in scapular muscle strength. The hand does not function as an independent factor, but it also depends on the proximal joint stability. Therefore the focus of the study is to correlate shoulder performance and scapular muscle strength among college students. 55 college students with the age group of 18-25 years, both male and female were analyzed. Shoulder performance was assessed by using Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST) and scapular muscle strength was assessed by using push-pull dynamometer. Statistical analysis was done by using Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient test with p<0.05. There was a statistically significant correlation between shoulder performance and scapular muscle strength among college students.
