The aim of this masterclass is to outline a kinesiopathologic and,
therefore, a rehabilitation approach for the management of PMm
tightness in shoulder movement-related impairments and pain.
Firstly, the most relevant literature relating PMm tightness to
shoulder pathologies with focus on scapular dyskinesis will be
reviewed. Secondly, a critical overview of the existing measurement
techniques to assess PMm tightness will be performed.
Finally, the conventional approaches to improve PMm length and
extensibility will be discussed and a more comprehensive rehabilitation
approach will be provided.
