Abstract :

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Scapular Dyskinesia is Scapular Dyskinesis is an alteration or deviation in the normal resting or active position of scapula during coupled scapulohumeral movements. In Scapular Dyskinesis ‘Dys’ indicates ‘alteration’ and ‘kinesis’ indicates ‘Motion’ There are very limited studies done on compå scapular dyskinesia and conventional therapy. So, this study EFFECTIVENESS OF SCAPULAR STABILIZATION EXERCISES IN SUBJECTS WITH SCAPULAR DYSKINESIA was proposed to determine the effectiveness between the scapular stabilization exercises and conventional physiotherapy in scapular dyskinesia. The purpose of the study is to find the effectiveness of scapular stabilization exercises in improving pain, shoulder disability and scapular angle in scapular dyskinesia. METHODS: 80 subjects who were clinically diagnosed of scapular dyskinesia were assessed and only 64 were recruited who are willing to be in the study and they were randomly allocated into two groups. In Group I (n=32) subjects were treated with scapular stabilization exercises for 6 weeks and Group II (N=32) subjects were treated with conventional therapy for 6 weeks. Both the groups are given with conservation management. The outcome of this intervention was pain (VAS), disability (SPADI) and scapular angle (LSST) RESULTS: Statistical analysis of the data revealed that in between group comparison showed there is a statistical significant difference in VAS, SPADI, LSST (00,450,900). CONCLUSION: The present study concluded that six weeks of interventions of scapular stabilization exercises were shown statistically significant in pre– test and post–test values in improving pain, disability and scapular angle. However scapular stabilization exercises are more effective in improving pain, disability and scapular angle when compared to conventional therapy. Then we can conclude that scapular stabilization exercises is a suitable adjunct to physiotherapy rehabilitation in subjects with Scapular Dyskinesia
