Subject: PT/Rehab uses the term scaption frequently..sm
scaption means abduction (raising the arm away from the body) in the scapular plane. Not a documented word, but worked for a PT and PM&R physiatrist for years who used this terms. Maybe this dictator is botching this word and saying "scapitation" with the same meaning intended??
