Exploring the lived experiences of patients with scapula alata: a qualitative study
SA affects patients comprehensively, beyond physical limitations, to mental and social challenges. These findings highlight the need for early diagnosis, standardized treatment approaches, and comprehensive care that integrates physical and psychosocial support. Increasing awareness among healthcare providers could improve outcomes and quality of life for individuals with SA.
