Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The objective of the study is the validate and to assess the reliability of a modified version of the Athetic Shoulder Test. The activity of peri-scapular muscles during the realization of the test will be assessed too.

Detailed Description
The study will be divided into two sessions. A time of 7-10 days will be provided between the two sessions of tests to limit the influence of sport and training on the results.
Session 1:
-
Warm-up
-
Realization of the Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior)
-
Realization of the modified Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior)
Session 2:
-
Warm-up
-
Realization of the Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior)
-
Realization of the modified Athletic Shoulder Test (with EMG captors on upper trapezius, lower trapezius and serratus anterior)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Strength of anteflexors in "I" position [Change from baseline to 10 days]
The strength developped in the "I" position will be assessed with a force plateform and a handheld dynamometer
- Strength of anteflexors in "Y" position [Change from baseline to 10 days]
The strength developped in the "Y" position will be assessed with a force plateform and a handheld dynamometer
- Strength of anteflexors in "T" position [Change from baseline to 10 days]
The strength developped in "T" position will be assessed with a force plateform and a handheld dynamometer
- EMG activity of upper trapezius [during the first session]
EMG activity of upper trapezius will be measured with surface electrodes (Delsys Trigno)
- EMG activity of lower trapezius [during the first session]
EMG activity of lower trapezius will be measured with surface electrodes (Delsys Trigno)
- EMG activity of serratus anterior [during the first session]
EMG activity of serratus anterior will be measured with surface electrodes (Delsys Trigno)
