Scapulohumeral rhythm increased by a mean ratio of 0.44 \u00b1 0.22 during the full-can exercise, whereas the addition of load increased mean glenohumeral elevation by 4\u00b0 \u00b1 1\u00b0.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The full-can exercise increased the glenohumeral contribution, as hypothesized, and showed normal shoulder coordination. During the empty-can exercise, the increased scapulothoracic contribution was associated with a compensatory pattern that limits the glenohumeral contribution. Using loads during shoulder rehabilitation seems justified because the scapulohumeral rhythm is similar to that of unloaded arm elevation. Finally, motion direction showed a limited effect during the exercises in healthy individuals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4085\/1062-6050-50.9.06","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,19]],"date-time":"2016-09-19T19:03:10Z","timestamp":1474311790000},"page":"1117-1125","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Shoulder
