Comparison of Scapular Dyskinesia, Shoulder Pain and Function in Wheelchair Basketball and Amputee Soccer Players

The purpose of this study was to compare the scapular dyskinesia, shoulder pain and function in wheelchairbasketball and amputee soccer players. 19 male (age= 29.0 ± 6.4 years) from amputee soccer and 22 male(age = 25.2 ± 9.1 years) from wheelchair basketball teamtotal of 41 players participated in our study. The data related to the descriptive and clinic characteristics of thesubjects were collected. Visual Analog Scale (VAS) wasused to assess shoulder pain intensity (at night and during game). Quick disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire (Q-DASH) was used to assess upper extrem- ity function. Scapular dyskinesia was evaluated with Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST) designed by Kibler. Therewere significant differences for pain intensity (at nightand during game), Q-DASH and LSST (1st test position)scores between wheelchair basketball players and ampu- tee soccer players (p< 0.05). So we concluded that LSST-1position is more similar position for both sports. Scapulardyskinesia and functionality scores were poor in quality inamputee soccers players.
