Scapular Dyskinesia, the forgotten culprit of shoulder pain and how to rehabilitate
The improper movement of the scapula during shoulder movement is termed scapular dyskinesis and is an often-forgotten cause of pain and dysfunction. The scapula is a key part of the upper limb kinematic chain and is a vital component of the glenohumeral rhythm; which is a major determinant of the ef...
