scapula, internal/external rotation around a vertical axis
through the plane of the scapula and anterior/posterior tilt
around a horizontal axis in the plane of the scapula.

a collective term that refers to an abnormal position and/or

described separately in terms of “altered scapular position

position
Definition
Ref.
Normally, the scapula rests at a position on the posterior
thorax approximately 2 inches from the midline, between
the second through seventh ribs (scapula extends from the
level of T2 spinous process to T7 orT9 spinous process,
depending on the size of the scapula) and the medial border
is about 6 cm lateral to the spine.
The scapula also is internally rotated 30 degree to 45
degree from the front plane, is tipped anteriorly
approximately 10 degree to 20 degree from vertical, and is
upwardly rotated 10 degree to 20 degree from vertical.
