Scapular Dyskinesis as a Biomechanical Driver of Tension-type Headache: A Functional Approach with DNS and Motion-guided Neuromuscular Stimulation

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participants will be able to describe the biomechanical role of the scapula in postural control and its contribution to tension-type headache (TTH).
• Upon completion, participants will be able to identify key kinematic abnormalities associated with scapular dyskinesis in patients with chronic TTH.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to demonstrate the use of 3D scapular motion analysis tools (e.g., ShowMotion™) to assess scapular dynamics.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to apply principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and neuromodulation techniques in the rehabilitation of scapular dyskinesis.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of individualized, kinematic-guided interventions in reducing headache symptoms and improving scapular function.
