Physical function may be thought of as goal-directed movement, considered the link between physical actions, colloquially defined as movement, and the environment in which it takes place (Cech & Martin, 2012). Such characteristics are essential, as they permit individuals to survive, adapt, and learn within the environment (Cech & Martin, 2012). If movement is inhibited or dysfunctional, an individual may be less able to participate in goal directed movement, in a meaningful and efficient manner. A key to mitigating movement impairment is through understanding the nature and purpose of the sensorimotor system. The following will consider movement impairment, using scapular dysfunction as an example, while exploring constituents of the sensorimotor system, and how it can impede shoulder stability.
