Abstract

|
This study aimed at identifying changes in the acromiohumeral distance (AHD) and abduction angle of the arm when the caudal gliding gradeⅡ and Ⅲ of Kaltenborn-Evjenth Conceptⓡ are applied to the right glenohumeral joint. The humeral head moved down about 5㎜ from the initial position when the gliding gradeⅡ was applied, and about 8㎜ from the initial position when the gliding gradeⅢ was applied. Although men showed a higher acromiohumeral distance per grade than women in comparisons by gender for the acromiohumeral distance, there was no significant difference in statistics. The Abduction angle improved about 10° from the initial angle when the gliding gradeⅡ was applied, and about 12° from the initial angle when the gliding gradeⅢ was applied. Although women showed the abduction angle greater than men for every grade in comparisons by gender for the abduction angle, there was no significant difference in statistics. Based on the aforesaid findings, the extent of kinematic changes in the humeral head could be identified when the gliding grades were applied. Accordingly, it is considered that more scientific evidence based treatments could be expected if influences on the surrounding structures by these changes could be learned through more studies in the future.
