Implication

Systematic review evaluates impact of movement-based exercises on performance in athletes with scapular dyskinesis, suggesting further research is needed.

Key Points

This review evaluates how movement-based exercises affect sports performance in athletes with scapular dyskinesis.
Conducted a comprehensive literature search in Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed up to July 30, 2025.
Followed PRISMA guidelines for systematic reviews.
Assessed risk of bias using RoB-2 and ROBINS-I tools.
Performed narrative synthesis due to the heterogeneity of studies.
Moderate evidence suggests improvement in shoulder function and glenohumeral range of motion over 6-12 weeks.
Low certainty for pain reduction and improvement in scapular and rotator cuff strength, with mixed effects.
Scapular kinematics improvement also shows low certainty.
Sport-specific performance outcomes remain highly uncertain due to small sample sizes.
