Validity of Clinical Measurement Instruments Assessing Scapular Function: Insufficient Evidence to Recommend Any Instrument for Assessing Scapular Posture, Movement, and Dysfunction-A Systematic Review.

Objective: To determine the construct validity, criterion validity, and responsiveness of measurement instruments evaluating scapular function.

Design: Systematic review of measurement properties.

Literature Search: The MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and SPORTDiscus databases were systematically searched from inception until March 2019.

Reliability of Performance-Based Clinical Measurements to Assess Shoulder Girdle Kinematics and Positioning: Systematic Review.

Background: Deviant shoulder girdle movement is suggested as an eminent factor in the etiology of shoulder pain. Reliable measurements of shoulder girdle kinematics are a prerequisite for optimizing clinical management strategies.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability, measurement error, and internal consistency of measurements with performance-based clinical tests for shoulder girdle kinematics and positioning in patients with shoulder pain.

WITHDRAWN: Orthotic devices for treating patellofemoral pain syndrome.

Background: Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a frequently reported condition in active adults. A wide variety of conservative treatment strategies have been described. As yet, no optimal strategy has been identified.
