AI Article Synopsis

  • * Identifying the cause of shoulder issues, such as muscle paralysis or overactivity, requires specific diagnostic strategies and imaging techniques.
  • * A thorough physical examination is essential for accurately diagnosing and treating scapular problems, especially in patients with conditions like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

Article Abstract

It is important to discuss the importance of synchronous balance between periscapular muscles for scapulothoracic motion and resultant scapulohumeral rhythm. Abnormalities in this balance can lead to scapular dyskinesia and winging, affecting shoulder motion and leading to impingement. Strategies exist to diagnose and differentiate between pathologies such as muscle paralysis (eg, trapezius or serratus anterior) or overactivity (eg, pectoralis minor). The physician should be aware of the role of diagnostic imaging, as well as the unique considerations for patients with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Overall, a comprehensive physical examination to accurately diagnose and treat scapular pathologies is particularly important.

Background: Hand grip strength is a critical indicator of upper extremity function, especially important in healthcare professions. Effective upper extremity function relies on proximal stability from the scapula and distal mobility from hand actions. This study aimed to examine the relationship between scapular dyskinesia and hand grip strength in healthcare students with smartphone addiction.

Background: Scapular Dyskinesia (SD) is detected more frequently in athletes who do overhead activity sports. SD is more common in kickboxers who actively use their upper extremities. This study was conducted to compare upper extremity stabilization, proprioception and body image in kickboxers with and without SD.

Background: The relation between shoulder pain and scapular movement impairments is still unclear. The scapular assistance test (SAT) assesses the influence of shoulder pain on abnormal scapular movement or positions. This study aimed to investigate scapular kinematics during arm raising/lowering with and without elastic resistance in volleyball players with positive and negative SAT.

Article Synopsis
  • * Conducted with 88 participants, results showed that office workers with neck pain had significantly worse cervical proprioception and more scapular dyskinesis than those without pain.
  • * The findings suggest a strong correlation between the two factors, indicating that assessing and managing scapular dyskinesis could help improve neck pain outcomes in computer users.
