Among 100 Indian recurve archers aged 15 to 25, on the scapular dyskinesis test the movement of the shoulder blade is rated normal in 30% of the 50 district, state or national-level archers against 58% of the 50 beginners on the drawing arm (p = 0.005), and in 40% against 54% on the bow arm (p = 0.012); obvious dyskinesis stands at 18% against 8% on both sides. The experienced group has been shooting for 4.3 years on average, the beginners for 1.9: years of practice and level go together, so it is impossible to say which of the two counts. The study excluded anyone with a history of upper-limb trauma, but it did not measure pain, and the test is a visual rating of movement; nor does it say whether this dyskinesis is a risk for the shoulder or an adaptation to shooting. Before this comparison there is only a case report from 2018, a world-class Korean archer with the shoulder blade out of position and a clunk in the drawing shoulder, which says nothing about frequency. It is a cross-sectional association in a venue with questionable editorial standards: the registry reports it but does not use it to decide the status, which remains not studied.claim:discinesia-scapolare-esperienza:revision:2026-10-01:3Thu, 01 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/health/scapular-dyskinesis-in-experienced-archers#storiaBefore any comparison there is a single case: a world-class Korean archer with a career of about twenty years who has heard a clunk in his drawing shoulder during the holding phase for five years, with the shoulder blade out of position on CT and a glenoid labrum lesion on MRI. It shows that dyskinesis can be found in a top-level archer, but it is a single person, with symptoms, and it says nothing about how common it is in experienced archers and in beginners: not studied.claim:discinesia-scapolare-esperienza:history_entry:2026-09-29:2018Tue, 29 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/health/scapular-dyskinesis-in-experienced-archersclaim:discinesia-scapolare-esperienza:new_claim:2026-09-11:non_studiatoFri, 11 Sep 2026 08:00:00 GMT
