Scapular Dyskinesis

Dr Ozello's Sports Medicine Report: Scapular Dyskinesis Scapular Dyskinesis: Alteration in normal resting position of scapula or alteration in normal dynamic scapular motion. Scapular dyskinesis may be caused or be the cause of shoulder pathology. Any change in scapular positioning directly influences muscle strength and stability of shoulder complex. Three Types 1) Posterior displacement from posterior thorax of inferior medial angle. 2) Posterior displacement from posterior thorax of entire medial border of scapula. 3) Early scapular elevation or excessive/insufficient scapular upward rotation during dynamic motion. Distal and Proximal causative factors. Distal Factors: Joint internal imbalance such as labral tears, GH instability, acromioclavicular separation. Proximal Factors: Weakness of scapular muscles, especially lower trapezius. Proximal factors are usually manageable with strengthening and stretching exercises. Strengthening scapular retractor muscles: Rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, middle trapezius and lower trapezius. Stretch anterior shoulder muscles, chest and rib cage muscles. **Disclaimer: Viewing this video does not take the place of seeing a medical professional.
