Résumé : |
Objectives To evaluate biomechanically the relationships between the outcome of the Combined Elevation Test, its component joint motions, and thoracic spine angles. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Laboratory. Participants 18 elite swimmers and triathletes (11 males and 7 females). Main outcome measures Combined Elevation Test outcome in forehead and chin positions. Individual joint contributions to test outcome. Results No sex differences were found in test components, or between head positions. Test outcome was greater in the forehead position than the chin position (34.3 cm vs 30.2 cm; p 0.05). Conclusions The Combined Elevation Test is an effective screening tool, measuring upper limb mobility into shoulder flexion and scapula retraction in both sexes, and thoracic extension in women. It is recommended that the test be performed in the forehead position. If a subject performs poorly on the test, follow up assessments are required to identify the impairment location. |
