Hello List. I have an orthotic question about a male musician who plays the flute professionally and experiences scapular pain while playing. The pain is most acute when the shoulder is elevated and the scapula rotates upwards to allow the left hand to support the flute. This gentleman's physiotherapist has told him she thinks the rhomboideus muscles may be contributing to his pain. Dry needling techniques (like acupuncture) were reported to have helped with pain management. My job is to try to find an orthosis that can be worn while this gentleman plays the flute to control the pain without restricting movement necessary for flute-playing. I have tried an Otto Bock Acro-Comfort shoulder support on this gentleman, but it limits flexion and inward rotation of the shoulder joint required for playing the flute. Has anyone come across a similar problem, and solution?
Thank you.
