Brief Summary

Office workers continuously work with the forward head posture. Forward head posture may cause upper extremity problems in the office workers due to the increase in the load on the muscles and joints of the cervical spine. This working posture may cause scapular rotation downward, increase in activation of the scapular muscles, pain, limited range of motion (ROM) and poor proprioception, which can create a vicious circle. Especially in the office workers that using computer vibration sensation reduction and upper extremity problems are seen. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of shoulder stabilization exercises on scapular dyskinesis, muscle strength, posture and proprioceptive sensory parameters in addition to office exercises in the office workers with shoulder protraction.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Assessment of shoulder proprioception sense

  Evaluation of shoulder proprioception will be performed with an isokinetic (Cybex Norm) dynamometer that is found as the most reliable method of shoulder proprioception measurement.Functionally, a proprioceptive testing device (PTD) will be used to measure kinesthesia as the threshold to detect passive motion and measure joint position sense by the ability to reproduction of passive positioning and reproduction of active positioning

  15 minute

• Assessment of shoulder vibration sense

  Shoulder vibration sense evaluation will be performed with Vibrometer (Diabetic Foot Care, India), which has demonstrated high reproducibility and reliability.

  2 minute

• Passive internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER) mobility flexibility

  5 minute

Shoulder stabilization exercise and office exercise training

EXPERIMENTAL

Shoulder stabilization exercises will be given to the experimental group participants individually during 8 weeks. Exercises will be done 3 times a week and each exercise will be performed with 10 repetitions, 3 sets and 60-90 seconds rest between sets. Also experimental group participants will do office exercise training that given to other group participants.

Other: Shoulder stabilization exercises

Office exercise training

EXPERIMENTAL

Office-based stretching exercises will be given to other group 3 sets will be applied by waiting 15 seconds for increasing range of motion of back, shoulder and neck joints. In addition, isometric exercises and scapula stabilization exercises will be given to strengthen the shoulder muscles and participants will do these exercises 3 times a week and once a day in 10 repetitions (10-15 seconds) and 3 sets. Each set will be given a rest of 60-90 seconds. Total time will be 10-15 minutes.Office exercise training will last a total of 8 weeks.

Other: Office exercises training

Interventions

Shoulder stabilization exercises OTHER

When participants are able to do the exercise 15 repetitions without difficulty, the exercise will be advanced by modifying or adding the weight.The exercises include chin tulk exercise, shoulder closed chain weight transfer, prone and iso-abdominal exercises, push-up exercise, lower trapezius muscle strengthening exercise, dead bug exercise, ball rolling on the wall, bench press with dumbbell and internal/external rotation (IR / ER) strengthening exercises

Also known as: Shoulder stabilization exercises and office exercises training
