The disabled throwing shoulder: spectrum of pathology part III: the SICK scapula, scapular dyskinesis, the kinetic chain, and rehabilitation
Abstract
We use the acronym SICK to refer to the findings one sees in this syndrome (Scapular malposition, Inferior medial border prominence, Coracoid pain and malposition, and dysKinesis of scapular movement). This recently recognized overuse muscular fatigue syndrome is yet another cause of shoulder pain in the throwing athlete who presents with dead arm complaints. 1 Morgan CD The thrower’s shoulder. Two perspectives. in: McGinty J.B. Operative arthroscopy. Ed 3. Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia2003: 570-584 Google Scholar The hallmark feature of this syndrome is asymmetric malposition of the scapula in the dominant throwing shoulder, which usually appears on examination as if one shoulder is lower than the other. This statically observable position is suggestive of underlying muscle activation alterations that produce altered kinematics of the scapula upon dynamic use. The altered kinematics fall into 3 clinically recognizable patterns of scapular dyskinesis, 2 of which are most commonly associated with labral pathology: type I, inferior medial scapular border prominence, and type II, medial scapular border prominence.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
