Shoulder dyskinesia in FSH muscular dystrophy

From our January 27, 2022, FSHD University webinar. Jos Ijspeert, a physiotherapist and PhD candidate at Radboud University Medical Center, has been conducting research on the potential for exercises to improve shoulder dyskinesia, which underlies scapular winging, one of the most common symptoms of FSHD. "We think it is important that people with FSHD and shoulder complaints start using their shoulder muscles most effectively in daily activities,” IJspeert says. “As long as patients still have muscle strength, something can be done about the instability of the scapulae and overloading of the shoulder muscles can be prevented.”
