Characterization of humeral head displacements during dynamic glenohumeral neuromuscular control exercises using quantitative ultrasound imaging: A feasibility study

The objectives of the present study were to test the feasibility of measuring humeral head displacements using quantitative ultrasound imaging during the performance of two different dynamic glenohumeral neuromuscular control exercises and to investigate the influence of these exercises on the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) and anterior-posterior distance (APD). Ten individuals who have no history of shoulder injury at the non-dominant shoulder completed three repetitions of an active humeral head lowering exercise and three repetitions of a posteriorisation exercise in a random order in a seated position.
