Description

This study aimed to analyze the change with aging of the muscle strength of the shoulder girdle using a hand-held dynamometer. We analyzed 100 healthy women (200 shoulders); 20 for each 10 years between 20 and 70 years old. There was negative correlation between the age and muscle strength of the shoulder girdle. The muscles related to the interscapulothoracic joint showed a stronger negative correlation than the muscles mainly related to the scapulohumeral joint. Comparing the muscle strengths among the age groups, muscles related to the interscapulothoracic joint showed muscle strength decline from the onward 40's. On the other hand, muscles related to the scapulohumeral joint showed decline from the 50's or 60's. From the results, it is suggested that the strength of muscles mainly related to the joint had a strong negative correlation with age and this muscle strength decline begins early.<br>
