• 1 other identifier: 192/10
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 30
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of global postural reeducation relative to segmental exercises in the treatment of scapular dyskinesis with cervicalgia.

Conditions

Scapular Dyskinesis; Cervicalgia

Keywords

Physical Therapy Modalities; Posture; Muscle Stretching Exercises; Dyskinesias; Neck pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Function of the upper extremity

  The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire was used to measure function of the upper extremity, where 0 corresponded to "no disability" and 100 corresponded to "most severe disability".

  10 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• Pain severity

  10 weeks

• Health-related quality of life (HRQoL)

  10 weeks

• Function of the neck

  10 weeks
