TABLE IV.

Ratio of Glenohumeral to Scapulothoracic Motion During Abduction in the Symptomatic Group

Abduction Angle Visit 1 Visit 2 P Value
Median* (Interquartile Range) P Value Median* (Interquartile Range) P Value
0° to 30° 4.2 (1.8-6.8) 0.008§ 2.5 (1.5-6.4) 0.20 0.13
30° to 60° 2.2 (1.2-3.8) 1.4 (0.6-4.7) 0.38
60° to 90° 2.0 (1.4-2.8) 2.1 (1.1-3.2) 0.23
0° to 90° 2.6 (1.7-4.0) 2.4 (1.9-3.8) 0.94

The 25th and 75th percentiles are given in parentheses.

P value for comparison of the values between different abduction segments within a visit is derived by mixed-model repeated-measures analysis of variance using rank-transformed data.

P value, derived with the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, for the comparison of certain abduction segments between visits.

§

Post hoc analysis of this comparison by statistical contrasts showed p = 0.02 for 0° to 30° versus 30° to 60°, p = 0.001 for 0° to 30° versus 60° to 90°, p = 0.09 for 0° to 30° versus 0° to 90°, p = 0.41 for 30° to 60° versus 30° to 90°, and p = 0.38 for 30° to 60° versus 0° to 90°.
