No-Pain shoulder blade quirks may still matter, new study hints
NCT ID NCT07593963
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will look at 51 adults aged 18 to 40 who have a shoulder blade that sits or moves differently (scapular dyskinesia) but feel no pain. Researchers will measure rotator cuff strength and the space inside the shoulder joint using ultrasound. The goal is to see if these factors are linked, which could help understand early signs of shoulder problems.
