The term ‘winged scapula’ (also scapula alata) is used when the muscles of the scapula are too weak or paralyzed, resulting in a limited ability to stabilize the scapula. As a result, the medial or lateral borders of the scapula protrudes from back, like wings. The main reasons for this condition are musculoskeletal- and neurological-related. Winging of scapula disturbs scapulohumeral rhythm; contributes to loss of power and limited flexion and abduction of the upper extremity and can be a source of considerable pain. This debilitating condition that can affect the ability to lift, pull, and push heavy objects, as well as to perform daily activities of living, such as brushing one’s hair and teeth and carrying grocery bags.
