Article Synopsis
  • The study explored the impact of isometric horizontal abduction (IHA) on shoulder muscle activity during wall push-up plus (WPP) and wall slide (WS) exercises in people with scapular winging (SW).
  • It found that applying IHA significantly increased the activity of the serratus anterior (SA), upper trapezius (UT), lower trapezius (LT), and infraspinatus (IS), while decreasing pectoralis major (PM) activity.
  • The results suggest using WPP and WS with IHA can enhance shoulder stability and could help manage the overactivation of PM in individuals with SW.
