Abstract.

The scapular elevation (shoulder shrug), depression, and total elevation-depression motion in 30 healthy subjects were measured by goniometer under standardized conditions. Mean values were 37.74, 8.39, and 44.60 deg, respectively. The intraobserver variation was calculated as 1.3 deg, and the interobserver variation was 1.8 deg. There was no difference between the sides. This previously unreported values may be used in the evaluation of shoulder and neck disorders.
