Abstract in brief

  • The systematic review found that scapular dyskinesis, or abnormal shoulder blade movement, is more common in overhead athletes (61%) compared to nonoverhead athletes (33%), suggesting a higher prevalence due to their reliance on upper limb overhead activities.
  • The review analyzed 12 studies involving 1401 athletes, using methods that confirm the significant difference in scapular dyskinesis prevalence between these groups, based on evidence levels 2 and 3.
  • While scapular dyskinesis is associated with shoulder problems, it can also be present in asymptomatic individuals, and its detection through visual examination and specific tests can lead to improved shoulder symptoms when treated appropriately.
