Brief Summary

The study aimed to investigate the effect of scapular muscle training using a suspension system in patients with non spacific chronic neck pain with scapular diskinesia

Conditions

Scapular Dyskinesis

Keywords

Scapular diskinesia; Non spacific chronic neck pain; Suspension system

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Pain intensity

  Pain intensity is measured by neumeric pain rating scale the lowest value is 0 means no pain and the highest value is 10 means the worst pain

  1week

• Function

  Function is measured by neck disability index the total score is 50 as the score is higher the disability is higher

  1 week

• Scapular muscle strength

  Scapular muscle strength is measured by hand held dynanometer

  1week

• Scapular position

  Scapular position is measured by lateral scapular slide test

  1week

Study Arms (2)

Excercise therapy group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The group that recived scapular muscle training exercises

Other: Scapular training exercises

Suspension group

EXPERIMENTAL

The group that recived scapular muscle training using suspension system

Device: Suspension system

Interventions

Suspension system DEVICE

suspended from the handles of the straps by either their hands or feet while the non-suspended pair of extremities are in contact with the ground leading to muscle activation due to unstable base of support

Also known as: Sling therapy

Suspension group

Scapular training exercises OTHER

Scapular muscle strength by resistance

Excercise therapy group
