Scapular Assistance Test [for winging scapula] 

👉The Scapular Assistance Test [for winging scapula] is a test I use quite often to help determine if the glenohumeral joint is not functioning well as a result of scapular winging or scapular dyskinesis.
Here's how it goes...
✅ Ask the patient to flex the shoulder.
✅ Observe the motion for loss of motion or weakness.
✅ Start over but now place use your hands to keep the medial scapular boarder in place and help (assist) the lateral and upward rotation of the scapula.
✅ Now...Ask the patient how that felt.
✅ If they report it was "easier" or they felt "stronger" and you the provider notices improved quality of motion, then the test is POSITIVE.
