Current Views of Scapular Dyskinesis and its Possible Clinical Relevance.
Aaron Sciascia, W Ben Kibler
PMID 35136680WHAT IT FOUND
This paper reviews how to examine scapular dyskinesis but reports no intervention outcomes.
It suggests focusing on motor control rather than strength, but these are expert recommendations, not tested interventions.
What this paper is
This is a clinical commentary reviewing the definition, examination, and treatment of scapular dyskinesis. It includes an unpublished internal survey of 462 patients that categorized causes of dyskinesis, but it reports no intervention outcomes, no control groups, and no new trial data. There are no tested interventions or patient outcomes here to change your practice on.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat the proposed motor control and kinetic chain rehabilitation protocols as evidence-based practice. The paper explicitly states there are no empirical reports or randomized control trials comparing these approaches to standard care; the recommendations are based on expert opinion.
