#2 Assessment of the scapula – with Filip Struyf

44 minutes

In this episode, I discuss the scapula with Filip Struyf, PhD. We attempt to answer the measurement error question and how this influences everything thereafter! After all, if we can't accurately measure something it becomes impossible to prove the validity and lacks any utility in clinical practice.

Ready to arm yourself (pardon the pun!) with actionable strategies for assessment and treatment to use immediately in the clinic to improve patient outcomes and quality of life? Come learn with me in The Complete Shoulder Online Course.
