Abstract

<p>We performed physical therapy focused on the shoulder girdle and scapula for a patient with a right elbow fracture who had been experiencing difficulty in accessing the area behind the right shoulder joint while bathing. Right shoulder girdle extension was considered to be an issue based on the impairment predicted in motion observation. Increased muscle tone in the right pectoralis minor muscle was a factor affecting the poor extension of the right scapular girdle, suggesting that this muscle was involved when the towel was moved behind the right shoulder. Administration of treatment of the right pectoralis minor muscle led to increased right shoulder girdle extension, and the patient could access the area behind the right shoulder joint with a towel.</p>
