Ucurum SG, et al. - A total of 51 cases with lateral epicondylalgia (LE) and 51 age-matched controls were examined to study the scapular position and upper extremity muscle strength in subjects with LE vs controls. A higher percentage of candidates with scapular asymmetry was observed in the cases when compared to the controls. They found that the involved side regarding shoulder external rotation among the cases was significantly weaker as compared to the controls. In terms of shoulder abduction, external rotation, and internal rotation, the involved side of subjects with LE was significantly weaker than the uninvolved side. They recorded a significantly greater upper trapezius (UT)/middle trapezius (MT) ratio on the nondominant side of the controls as compared to that on the involved side of the LE cases.
