dc.description.abstractSubacromial impingement accounts for significant burdens on the economy and individual quality of life. The development and progression of this disorder is thought to be related to overuse; however, little is known regarding biomechanical factors such as scapular kinematics, shoulder muscle recruitment and joint proprioception with respect to this disorder. The high degree of variability between individuals on these biomechanical measures limits our ability to make inferences behind the development of shoulder impingement. Here, biomechanical factors associated with impingement are investigated using within-subjects designs in order to reduce this inherent variability. Using modern clinical techniques, this dissertation is applicable towards treatment of shoulder impingement as well as scientific understanding of motor control and function in the presence of pain. This dissertation includes previously published and un-published co-authored material.en_US
