Scapular clinical assessment and therapeutic exercises for chronic shoulder pain: A narrative review. 11o CONGRESSO NACIONAL DE BIOMECÂNICA. https://cnb2025.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/prog_cnb2025_web/abstracts_cnb225/ID_372_895_Submiss%C3%A3o_revisao_CNB2025_revisto.pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/32163Previous studies have reported that a significant proportion of the general population will experience shoulder pain at some point of their lifetime [1], which could lead to disability [2]. Particularly, cases that evolve into chronic shoulder pain can further compromise shoulder function. Among the different joints of shoulder complex that could be involved in these conditions, the scapulothoracic joint, possibly due to its major role in the shoulder function and upper limbs’ activities [3], is commonly associated with changes in scapular kinematics and related muscular activity [4, 5]. These findings, related to the chronicity of shoulder pain and to motor control adaptations, along with epidemiological data on this common musculoskeletal condition [1], justify the continued search for more effective rehabilitation approaches.engShoulder painScapular impairmentsBiomechanicsAssessmentExerciseconference poster
