In the wall angle, which correction would you apply after establishing scapular stability?

The wall angle emphasizes coordinating the scapulothoracic rhythm, so the first step is to lock in stable, neutral scapular positioning. Once the scapula is stabilized, the next correction focuses on how the scapula moves itself during the arm elevation. refining scapular movement—ensuring proper upward rotation, posterior tilt, and external rotation of the scapula—provides the foundation for the humerus to move without compensations from the thoracic spine or pelvis. In this sequence, the scapula is the active focus because its position and motion directly drive the shoulder mechanics in this exercise.
