Brief Summary

Scapular dyskinesis is defined as the loss of strength around the scapular muscle, tightness of the pectoralis minor and disruption of scapular movements. Scapular patterns of proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilition (PNF) techniques are often preferred in the rehabilitation of scapular dyskinesis. The main principals of PNF applications are defined as the autogenous inhibition, reciprocal inhibition, stress relaxation and gate control theory.The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of scapular PNF patterns on muscular strength and pectoralis minor tightness among individuals with unilateral scapular dyskinesis.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Upper trapez and serratus anterior muscle strength ratio and upper trapez and lower trapez muscle strength ratio

  UT and SA muscle strength ratio (UT/SA) and UT and LT muscle strength ratio (UT/LT) were calculated.

  12 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Individuals applied with proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilition techniques

OTHER

No exercise intervention was made.

Other: Exercise, proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilition (PNF) techniques

Interventions

Exercise, proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilition (PNF) techniques OTHER

PNF applications are defined as the autogenous inhibition, reciprocal inhibition, stress relaxation and gate control theory. Anterior elevation / posterior depression will be performed in the form of repetitive contractions using anterior depression / posterior elevation patterns. There will be 10 repetitions, with a 2-minute rest break between each technique. The treatment will continue twice a week for a total of 6 weeks.

Individuals applied with proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilition techniques
