Abstract
Abstract: Scapular malalignment is a common musculoskeletal impairment observed in patients with stroke, contributing to shoulder pain, reduced upper limb function, and decreased quality of life. This article provides an in-depth exploration of the mechanisms underlying scapular malalignment in stroke survivors, methods for assessment, and evidence-based rehabilitation strategies. Using the terms "scapular malalignment" and "stroke," searches were conducted across four databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, and Science Direct) to find relevant research. This evaluation only includes observational studies that were published during the previous ten years. Through a comprehensive review of the literature, key factors contributing to scapular malalignment, including muscle weakness, altered muscle activation patterns, and impaired proprioception, are examined. Assessment techniques, including physical examination, imaging modalities, and functional assessments, are discussed to facilitate early identification and targeted intervention. Additionally, evidence-based rehabilitation approaches, such as therapeutic exercise, neuromuscular re-education, and assistive devices, are presented to address scapular malalignment and improve functional outcomes in patients with stroke.
