Introduction[edit|edit source]
推高+运动是经常利用people experience shoulder dysfunctions or pathologies. It is used due to the activation of theserratus anteriorand improvingscapularkinematics[1][2]. Often, if participants have increased upper trapezius activity and decreased serratus anterior activity there is more anterior tipping and medial rotation of the scapula and decreased upward rotation with elevation[3]. Increasing activation of the serratus anterior has been found to improve this upward rotation of the scapula. Utilizing the push up plus has been found to improve pain symptoms with people havingimpingement symptoms[3]andscapular winging[4].
Technique[edit|edit source]
Unlike a regularpush up, in which the person is supported on both hands and toes on the floor, then lowers their body to the floor and returns. The push up plus is performed in the same starting position as a push up, with the arms extended but instead of lowering to the floor, the participant protracts their scapula.[5]

Push up plus start position

Push up plus end position
Progression[edit|edit source]
- Wall
Participant stands near a wall, extends arms, and leans forward into the wall. This position limits the weight bearing on the upper extremity and is often a starting point for participants
- Table
Participant is in an inclined position on a table or firm surface. This adds increased weight bearing through the upper extremity
- Quadruped
Participant is on knees with arms extended to add more resistance through the upper extremity.
- Push up position
Participant is in the push up position with arms extended and on toes.
- Resistance
Participant assumes any desired position but a resistance band can be wrapped around the trunk from the hands to add increased force on the upper extremity.
