THE SCAPULA ASSISTANCE TEST (SAT) The SAT is rather a symptom alteration test that is often used in routine care to guide further treatment. If symptom alteration can be achieved by the SAT, one might assume that scapular strengthening can have a positive impact on the patients shoulder symptoms. According to Rabin et al. (2006) the SAT has a moderate reliability with a Kappa value of k= 0.53 in the scapular plane and a substantial reliability with Kappa of k= 0.62 in the sagittal plane. | Physi

Scapular dyskinesis, poor movement of the scapulohumeral complex, can cause a winging scapula or an elevated scapula. NKT often finds the serratus anterior dysfunctional, either over or underworking, as well as the rhomboids, levator scapula, and pec minor. The conclusion of the congress on scapular dyskinesis was that the pec minor played a huge role in these situations. NKT wholeheartedly concurs. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bjsports-2013-092425 (Link in profile). #nkt #neurokinetictherapy #shou
