Pectoralis major (PMa) muscle injuries are becoming more prevalent, and their incidence differs among the PMa regions, i.e., the clavicular, sternal, and abdominal regions. Therefore, identifying the position for effectively lengthening each PMa region is critical in preventing PMa injuries. The purpose of this study was to determine the effective stretching position for each PMa region through shear wave elastography, which can indirectly assess individual muscle lengthening. Fifteen men participated in this study. Twelve stretching positions were compounded with shoulder abductions (45°, 90°, and 135°), pelvic rotation (with or without), shoulder external rotation (with or without), and shoulder horizontal abductions. The shear modulus of each PMa region was measured through shear wave elastography in the stretching positions mentioned above. At the clavicular region, the shear modulus was higher for three stretching positions: shoulder horizontal abduction at 45° abduction during pelvic rotation and shoulder external rotation, shoulder horizontal abduction at 90° abduction, and shoulder horizontal abduction at 90° abduction while considering shoulder external rotation. For the sternal region, the shear modulus was higher in two stretching positions: shoulder horizontal abduction at 90° abduction while adding external rotation, and combination of pelvic rotation and external rotation. For the abdominal region, the shear modulus was higher in the shoulder horizontal abduction at 135° abduction with pelvic and external rotation. These results indicated that the effective stretching position was different for each PMa region.
