- Abstract
<bold>Background: </bold>The aim of this study was to investigate the scapular kinematics during dynamic humeral movements in patients with arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair of the shoulder along with the potential biomechanical corrective effects of scapular stabilization taping.<bold>Methods: </bold>Twenty patients with unilateral traumatic anterior shoulder instability and arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair participated in the study. Dynamic shoulder kinematics were assessed during the scapular plane shoulder elevation for both the operated and non operated shoulders and also under two conditions: no-taping and taping. Statistical analysis to compare sides and conditions was performed with analysis of variance models.<bold>Results: </bold>The scapula was more internally rotated position in operated shoulders than in non operated shoulders. Furthermore, the scapula was less internally rotated and more downwardly rotated at 120° of elevation in the taping condition.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Operated shoulders demonstrated kinematics alterations when compared to non operated shoulders underwent arthroscopic anterior capsulolabral repair. Additionally, changes in the scapular orientation with the taping was very small but followed a pattern, which would be suggested to be an orientation that potentially produce more scapular stability and to increase stress on the inferior glenohumeral ligament.
