摘要：Analysis and study of the posture of athlete is one of the most important aspects of evaluation during pre-season. In overhead athletes, assessing the functionality of the scapula is one of the most important and interesting observations in postural manner. Postural asymmetries frequently remains as dysfunctional abnormalities that correlate with increase in risk factors for disease in the shoulder of athletes who involvein overhead sports.These asymmetries scapular posture are more pronounced in the upper limbs dominant for their repetitiveness gestural in game play. Test of static and dynamic evaluation have been presented in the literature to classify the presence of dyskinesia’sscapular between the Kibler’s test (lateral scapular slide test, LSST) that evaluates the postural modulation of the scapula in static positions clinically. Through this test, asymmetries side to side above the measurement of 1.5 cm may be classifiable as scapular dyskinesia after fifteen minutes of assessment on the field. We therefore recommend LSST to overhead game (volleyball) athletes’ technical teams as a functional assessment field test for scapula. It is simple within 15 seconds, repeatable and capable of detecting any scapular dysfunction in asymptomatic volleyball athletes.
