New shoulder therapy shows promise for young adults with winged scapula

This study tested whether a technique called Integrated Neuromuscular Inhibition (INIT) can improve shoulder movement, muscle strength, and shoulder blade position better than standard exercises in young adults with scapular dyskinesia (abnormal shoulder blade motion). Eighty-two participants received either INIT or conventional exercises three times a week for six weeks. Researchers measured changes in range of motion, strength, and scapular position at weeks 4 and 6.
