  1. Abbreviations: A-PT, anterior-posterior tilting; L-MR, lateral-medial rotation; PRO-RET, protraction-retraction; SIS, shoulder impingement syndrome. The 3D scapular attitudes were calculated from the mean of the two first trials from the first session. The method of calculation relative to the trunk was used to calculate the 3D scapular attitudes.
