Shoulder joint has the greatest range of motion and is the most exposed to dysfunctions. Dynamic and quantitative evaluations of this region provide better information, but the choice of the method to be used relies on its measurement properties. The aim of this study was to identify the existing methods of quantitative dynamic evaluation of the shoulder and scapula complex, in a clinical context for the general population, identifying the measurement properties and the outcomes that were evaluated for each method. This scope review includes in vivo studies, with samples without a specific clinical condition and involving methods applicable in a clinical context. It was identified the evaluated outcome, the measurement method and measurement properties analyzed. 29 studies were selected that investigated 12 measurement methods, and their validity and reliability were evaluated for 17 different outcomes. The shoulder and scapula position and derived outcomes have been addressed by the largest number of studies (n=21) and their main assessment methods were inertial measurement units (n=5) and magnetic inertial measurement units (n=6). The outcomes that presented valid and reliable methods were: shoulder range of joint; shoulder and scapular range of motion; muscular activity; shoulder joint center; humerus length; torque-time curve; functional performance; scapular dyskinesis; shoulder external rotators strength; functional capabilities and range of joint; initial scapular movement; shoulder and scapula position; shoulder angular velocity.
