About this trial

Scapular dyskinesia is defined by abnormal movement or placement of the scapula, the shoulder blade, during arm movements. Physical treatment aimed at regaining appropriate scapular mechanics through strengthening exercises, postural correction, and functional movement training is typically part of management. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. The study will be conducted at Unique school and on school going children in a total duration of 10 months. Sample size will be 22.There will be two study groups. A convenient sampling technique will be used. The sample which will have following characteristics will be included children with age group 9 to 12 years, positive scapular test, positive scapular assistance test, athletes who practice one hour three days a week. The sample with the following characteristics will be excluded. Any muscular or joint deformity, scoliosis, shoulder dislocation. The tools that will be included in the study are modified lateral scapular test, shoulder flexion test, shoulder and pain disability index, upper extremity functional use scale, posture and posture assessment scale, shoulder and scapular ranges.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • YWTL EXERCISES

    Other intervention

    YWTL exercises are shoulder and upper back exercises to improve posture, strengthen upper back. Each letter represents different arm position that copies shape of letter.

  • Closed kinetic chain exercises

    Other intervention

    Closed kinetic chain exercises include corner stretch hold, sleeper stretch hold - lawn mover and robbery maneuver, Scapula clock exercises, wall wash. Low row exercise maneuver, Scapular stabilization of Black burn exercises, press up, push up.

Treatment groups

22 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: group 1 with YWTL exercisesExperimental treatment 2 interventions
Group B: group 2 with closed kinetic chain exercisesExperimental treatment 2 interventions

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

modified lateral scapular test

The Modified Lateral Scapular Slide Test assesses scapular asymmetry and stability by measuring the distance between the inferior angle of the scapula and the spine in various arm positions.

Time frame
pre reading(1st week) post reading (6th week)
2

scapular dyskinesis test

The Scapular Dyskinesis Test evaluates abnormal scapular movement patterns during shoulder motion to identify dysfunction.

Time frame
pre reading(1st week) post reading (6th week)
3

shoulder flexion test

The Shoulder Flexion Test assesses the range of motion and flexibility of the shoulder joint as the arm is raised overhead.

Time frame
pre reading(1st week) post reading (6th week)
4

scapular assistance test

The Scapular Assistance Test evaluates the effect of manually assisting scapular motion on shoulder pain and function during arm elevation.

Time frame
pre reading(1st week) post reading (6th week)
