the Dynamic hug (plus) exercise was described by Decker et al. in the year 1999 and by Park et al. in the year 2013. This exercise generated a MVIC between 85.1 to 109% and is therefore a great exercise to perform when strengthening the serratus anterior according to Neumann & Camargo in the year 2019. The dynamic hug can be used in rehab for patients with winging of the scapula or shoulder impingement syndromes.
