The recently published application, regarding scapular dyskinesis, is a microcosm that illustrates an important dialogue about how today’s therapists need to see chronicity as a multi-system interaction that requires multisystem treatments. Walker et al. used ES in a novel way to address scapular dyskinesis [1]. This application, (ES cueing with voluntary exercises) was used to address a multisystem defect versus, how stimulation is traditionally used in orthopedic practice, to address muscle hypertrophy or to gate pain. Perhaps if the orthopedic therapist considered ES cueing coupled with voluntary exercise, when treating a chronic, multisystem problem, in his or her orthopedic patients, they would see more consistent, replicable results in much shorter time frames [2].
