The goal of this study was to measure 3-dimensional shoulder motion by use of a direct invasive technique during 4 different arm movements in healthy volunteers. Eight subjects with healthy shoulders were recruited. Optoelectronic marker carriers fie, infrared light-emitting diodes) were mounted on bone pins, which were inserted into the lateral scapular spine. Subjects performed 4 different arm movements while the motion was being recorded by a precision optoelectronic camera. Joint angles were calculated in 3 dimensions. Intraclass correlation coefficients and root-mean-square differences were-calculated as measures of reliability. During abduction, the scapula tipped posteriorly (44 degrees +/- 11 degrees), rotated upward (49 degrees +/- 7 degrees), and rotated externally (27 degrees +/- 11 degrees). For reaching, the scapula consistently rotated upward (17 degrees +/- 3 degrees) and rotated internally (18 degrees +/- 6 degrees) whereas tipping was generally less than 10 degrees (5 degrees +/- 2 degrees). Overall, the range of scapular movement for the hand behind the back was small and variable, with most rotations not exceeding 15 degrees. For horizontal adduction, the scapula tipped anteriorly (8 degrees +/- 3 degrees), rotated upward (5 degrees +/- 2 degrees), and rotated internally (27 degrees +/- 6 degrees). These scapular rotations provide normative data that will be useful for diagnosing scapular dysfunction.
