Abstract
Alteration of scapular position and motion (scapular dyskinesis) is common in association with symptoms and dysfunction from many types of glenohumeral instability. In some types of instability, particularly multidirectional instability (MDI) and posterior instability, dyskinesis can be a major factor in the dysfunction. In all types of instability, the alterations increase the functional deficit associated with instability and increase the difficulty of rehabilitation unless they are recognized and treated as part of a comprehensive program. Evaluation of scapular position at rest and with arm motion should be an integral part of the clinical examination of the patient with instability, and scapular rehabilitation is important to restore glenohumeral kinematics, either in a nonoperative, preoperative, or postoperative program.
