This short video shows Scapular dyskinesia during arm movement in the context of “Scapular dyskinesia.” Most cases of dyskinesia are the result of long-term muscle imbalance, not acute trauma. This links the muscle’s location and role in movement with the areas where tension or pain may be felt.
Most cases of dyskinesia are the result of long-term muscle imbalance, not acute trauma. The clip places this within “Scapular dyskinesia” so it is easier to understand what is happening in the area, not only where symptoms are felt.
Muscle pain is not always local. When a muscle is overloaded or lacks control during movement, tension or pain can also be felt in a nearby area.
This is an educational visual linked to “Scapular dyskinesia.” If symptoms keep returning, restrict movement, or their source is unclear, a functional assessment is a more useful next step than guessing.
