ImpactLow impact

The social discussions appear to have negligible influence on the perception of the publication's significance.

Abstract in brief

Shrug exercises combined with shoulder abduction at angles of 90° or 150° effectively activate scapular upward rotator muscles, improve scapular positioning, and reduce downward rotation in individuals with impairments.
Electromyography data showed that muscle activity (especially in the upper trapezius and serratus anterior) was higher at 90° and 150° abduction compared to 30°, leading to better scapular alignment.
Exercises performed at 90° or 150° shoulder abduction are recommended for enhancing scapular muscle function and positioning in patients with scapular downward rotation issues.]
