Summary: This study evaluates the differences in clinical outcomes and range of motions in patients with rotator cuff tears with and without scapular dyskinesis. Statistically significant differences were found between the groups in terms of clinical outcomes and range of motions, except for internal rotation.

Summary: The study revealed that more than half of the participants had some degree of scapular dyskinesis, and there were significant correlations between sporting habits, posture, and pain intensity with scapular dyskinesis, indicating its key role in the development of shoulder pain.

Summary: Maintaining scapular mechanics is crucial for upper extremity functionality and posture. The serratus anterior (SA) and upper trapezius (UT) muscles have a significant impact on the position of the inferior region of the scapula, while the lower trapezius (LT) muscle affects the mediolateral position of the scapula.

Summary: Optimal scapular function is crucial for optimal shoulder function, with dysfunction associated with various shoulder pathologies. Understanding and managing scapular motion alterations can lead to improved rehabilitation and performance outcomes. The scapula plays a key role in the kinetic chain, and evaluating and managing it can produce improved outcomes related to shoulder pathology.

Summary: This study investigated the inter-rater and intra-rater (live versus video) reliability of scapular dyskinesis (SD) assessment in neck pain patients. The results showed good-to-very good inter-rater reliability and moderate-to-good intra-rater reliability for assessing SD in neck pain patients.

Summary: Observable scapular dyskinesis is associated with biomechanical deficits. This study investigated the effects of kinesio taping (KT) on these deficits. The results suggest that KT is not recommended for ameliorating the biomechanical deficits associated with shoulder pain in individuals with scapular dyskinesis free from shoulder pain.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the effects of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation on shoulder functions and scapular dyskinesis. The results showed that CIED recipients had lower shoulder range of motion, grip strength, and higher scapular dyskinesis frequencies. They also had lower shoulder scores and physical quality of life. These findings suggest the importance of including these parameters in physiotherapy assessment and treatment programs.

Summary: This study synthesized existing literature and found that using unstable surfaces for push-ups doesn't necessarily increase the activity of all scapular stabilizer muscles. The amount of muscle activity depends on the type of push-up rather than the type of support base. If an unstable surface is used, the push-up plus exercise appears to be the most effective modality for improving training quality, performance, and preventing scapular dyskinesis due to increased activity of the middle trapezius and serratus anterior muscles.

Summary: This study investigated the short-term effectiveness of scapular focused taping (SFT) on scapular position and kinematics during the tennis serve among professional players with and without shoulder pain. The results showed that SFT had a positive immediate effect on scapular posterior tilting and external rotation during certain phases of the tennis serve.

Summary: This study evaluated the ability of the linear model and the double calibration acromion marker cluster (D-AMC) approaches to estimate scapular kinematics during pitching. The results showed that the linear model estimates were within physiological limits, while the D-AMC estimates exceeded the bounds and were less physiologically plausible. These findings support the accepted pattern of scapular kinematics during pitching.

Summary: This study developed and assessed new procedures for estimating scapular kinematics by combining closed kinematic chain optimization and double calibration. The results showed that coupling double calibration (using either linear or logarithmic correction) to a closed-loop multibody kinematic optimization is an efficient and fast method for improving scapular kinematic estimates.

Summary: This study investigates the presence of scapular dyskinesis in office workers with neck and scapular complaints, and explores the associated postural malalignment and muscle adaptations. The study finds a high prevalence of scapular dyskinesis among office workers with neck and scapular complaints, and suggests the need for proper management of scapular dyskinesis and working posture.
