Abstract
This study aimed to identify the role of scapula in SMDs and provided a systematic review of available studies in the field of scapular three-dimensional (3-D) kinematics among kind of SMDs during arm elevation and lowering. Methods: We searched six electronic databases (Scopus, EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL, PEDro and Cochrane Database) as well as grey literature for studies in the area of SMDs and abnormal scapular kinematics from 1996 to September 2015. There were 503 abstracts related to 3-D scapular kinematics in SMDs. Twenty studies met our inclusion criteria and were critically appraised by two raters independently using a structured tool designed for observational rating. Alteration in scapular movement pattern was our main outcome measure for the analysis.
