About the webinar

Over the past 10 years, the literature has been consistent noting that scapular dyskinesis by itself is not an injury or a musculoskeletal diagnosis. Scapular dyskinesis should be viewed as a physical impairment similar to patellar tracking alterations seen in the knee. This characterization has been supported by recent literature that has identified increases in shoulder function when specific scapular muscles are working optimally but not hyperactively. Furthermore, classic descriptions of how the aforementioned scapular kinematics occur have been found to be incorrect and this misinformation is taught in various academic programs and professional courses.
Function and dysfunction of the scapula must be fully understood by clinicians because approaching scapular dyskinesis with inaccurate knowledge about muscle function and seeing the dysfunction as a pathological entity rather than a physical impairment can misguide treatment protocols and lead to less than optimal rehabilitation outcomes. As such, scapular function, scapular dyskinesis, the role of the scapula in shoulder injury, clinical examination designed to detect the dysfunction at the scapula and shoulder, and ultimately the treatment approach for optimizing scapular-based impairments needs to be clarified for the participants of this session.

Learning Objectives

  1. To describe the role of the scapula in normal shoulder function and in individuals with shoulder pain and/or various shoulder pathologies
  2. To employ specific clinical maneuvers designed to identify scapular dysfunction
  3. To explain the kinetic chain philosophy of shoulder rehabilitation
  4. To employ kinetic chain-based exercises to treat scapular dysfunction
