Brief Summary

It was hypothesized that: There is no statistical significant effects of a scapular vupward rotation exercise (SURE) on scapular alignment in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS). There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on mechanosensitivity of the upper limb peripheral nervous system in a depressed scapular alignment subjects. There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on pressure Pain Threshold in a depressed scapular alignment subjects. There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE)on Strenght Duration Curve measurement in a depressed scapular alignment subjects.

Conditions

Scapular Dyskinesis

Keywords

Neural tissue mechanosensitivity; Depressed Scapular Alignment; Scapular upward rotation exercises

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Neural excitability

  Neural excitability measured by Strenght-duration cruve.

  Strenght-duration curve for neural excitability is measured before starting the treatment.Strenght-duration is measured after application of 6 weeks treatment program.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Pressure pain threshold

  All measurements were taken pre and post the treatment period (6 weeks).

Study Arms (1)

one group

EXPERIMENTAL

The treatment program consisted of upward rotation exercises for 3 sessions/week, for 6 weeks.

Other: Upward rotation exercise

Interventions

Upward rotation exercise OTHER

Treatment for correction of depressed scapular Alignment by exercise ( Upward Rotation Exercises) for 6 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 30 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• The scapula was downwardly rotated by visual appraisal.We examined the root of spine of scapulae (superior angle) and inferior angle of scapulae. If scapulae was downwardly rotated, inferior angle closer to spine than root of spine of scapulae (superior angle).
• The clavicle appeared to be horizontal or the acromioclavicular joint was lower than the sternoclavicular joint by visual appraisal.
• The vertebral borders of the scapula was less than 3 inches from the spine by tape measure.

You may not qualify if:

• Subject who has any of the following criteria was excluded from the study:
• Subjects with cervical spinal fractures.
• Neck-rotation ROM of \<20º.
• Radiating pain to an upper extremity.
• Scoliosis.
• Leg length discrepancy.
• A history of unresolved cancer.
• Diabetes Miletus.
• Polyneuropathy.
• Myofascial Pain Syndrome.
• Fibromyalgia.
