Objectives: To determine the correlation between strength of abdominal and scapular muscles in upper back pain patients with and without scapulocostal syndrome (SCS). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 164 patients with upper back pain (85 with SCS and 79 without SCS). Participants were evaluated for strength of abdominal muscles by the double leg lowering test (DLLT) and a pressure biofeedback unit (PBU), whereas strength of scapular muscles was tested by a hand held dynamometer. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between strength of abdominal muscles and scapular muscles. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare abdominal and scapular muscles strength between upper back pain patients with and without SCS. Results: In DLLT, moderate correlation was found between strength of abdominal muscles and upper trapezius, and left serratus anterior muscles (r = -0.503 to -0.608, p |
