Introduction: Scapular dyskinesia, an alteration in scapular position and movement, can lead to decreased muscle power and impaired shoulder function. Objective: The objective of this research was to assess the effect of scapula stability exercises on muscle power and functional performance in scapular dyskinesia individuals using a Seated medicine ball throw and the DASH questionnaire. Methodology: A closed-envelope experimental study was conducted with 32 participants assigned to the scapula stability exercise group (n = 16) and scapular mobilization group (n = 16). Results: The scapula stability exercise group showed statistically significant improvements in all measured outcomes. SMBT score improved from 1.60 ± 0.20 to 3.95 ± 0.35 (p < 0.001). DASH score decreased from 39.68 ± 5.32 to 20.51 ± 3.76 (p < 0.001), indicating improvement in both muscle power and functional performance. Discussion: Our study shows significant improvement in scapular dyskinesis when treated with scapular stability exercises for 6 weeks, thereby indicating that stabilization exercises can improve scapular kinematics. Conclusions: The result supports incorporating scapular stability exercises into rehabilitation programs to improve muscle power and functional performance in individuals with scapular dyskinesia.

Full textAbstract:
Background - Scapula stabilizing exercises used for improving shoulder function in patients with stroke has been reported in literature. However there is diversity in pattern of these exercises which makes it difficult to choose specific exercise and its impact on upper extremity function and scapular malalignment cannot be estimated appropriately. Hence it was aimed to explore different patterns of Scapular Stabilizing Exercises and its effect on scapular malalignment and upper limb function. Methods- Four databases (PubMed, Google Scholar, Cochrane, Science Direct) were searched to identify eligible studies using the keywords Scapula stabilizing exercise, Stroke. Only Randomized controlled trial studies published in last 10 years (2010-2020) were included in this review. Results- Thorough search identified six studies conducted on patients with sub-acute and chronic stroke. Scapular stabilising exercises were described in different positions supine lying, sitting with different movements being performed patients. Its effect on upper extremity function is measured with specific outcome measures. However its effect on scapular malalignment is not measured. Conclusion – There is diversity in the description of exercises though a common terminology as ‘Scapular Stabilizing Exercise’ is used in all research studies. In addition, the effect of these exercises on scapular malalignment is not assessed in any of the studies included in the current review

This case reports depicts the effect of scapular stabilization regimen for managing clinical symptoms of scapular dyskinesis presenting with crepitus during shoulder movement. A 35 old banker with history of peri scapular, shoulder and coracoid area pain with auditory joint noise visited our department. Scapular stabilization exercise regimen with emphasis on normalizing anatomical symmetry, scapular motor control was done for 40 mins, three times a week for 8 weeks. Follow up was maintained once a month after that or as per the need. Measurements included scapular deviations, muscle strength, pain intensity, quality of life and global rate of change. These changes were assessed at the beginning before the intervention, 8 weeks after treatment and during 1 year follow-up. Data shows favourable improvement on pain, strength , scapular symmetry and quality of life. Thus, it can be concluded that the scapular stabilization exercise is helpful in alleviating symptoms related to scapular dyskinesis and snapping scapula syndrome.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Upper-Crossed Syndrome (UCS) is also referred to as proximal or shoulder girdle crossed syndrome. In UCS, tightness of the upper trapezius and levator scapula on the dorsal side crosses with tightness of the pectoralis major and minor. Weakness of the deep cervical flexors ventrally crosses with weakness of the middle and lower trapezius. This imbalance leads to reduced thoracic expansion with difficulty in breathing and altered body posture. In the present study an attempt has been made to compare the efficacy of scapular stabilization exercises and conventional neck exercises in patients with UCS. Materials and Method: A total of 30 purposively selected confirmed cases of UCS aged 18-50 years, collected from the OPD of DAV Institute of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Jalandhar, India, were considered for the present study. The subjects were further divided into two groups for intervention. Group-A consisted of 15 subjects who were treated with hot pack, TENS and scapular stabilization exercises for 5 times per week for 2 weeks. Group-B consisted of 15 subjects who were treated with hot pack, TENS and conventional exercises for 5 times per week for 2 weeks. Results: The results of the present study revealed that within- group changes in NDI, thoracic expansions (Axillary, Midsternal and Xiphisternum), pectoral minor muscle lengthening were statistically significant in group-A. On the other hand, between Group-A and B, there was a statistically significant difference for the above-mentioned traits, showing the superior result in Group-A. Conclusion: It could be concluded from the present study that, scapular stabilization were more effective for reduced thoracic expansion in patients with UCS. Thoracic expansion and pectoral minor flexibility were increased with the help of scapular stabilization exercises. Scapular stabilization exercises showed significantly positive effect on NDI scores. Key words: Upper Crossed Syndrome, Muscle activity, Scapular Stabilization exercises, Conventional neck exercises.

Background: Signs and symptoms of impaired function of the musculoskeletal system may be targeted by treating dysfunction located elsewhere. Hypothesis: Abdominal control feedback and scapular stabilization exercise interventions would result in positive changes in pain intensity, strength, electromyography, and flexion-relaxation phenomena in women with forward head and round shoulder postures and neck movement impairment. Study Design: Pretest-posttest intervention. Level of Evidence: Level 1. Methods: A total of 135 women (aged 27.23 ± 1.9 years) with forward head and round shoulder postures were randomized to 3 groups. Group 1 received 6-week scapular stabilization exercises with abdominal control feedback (n = 45), group 2 received 6-week scapular stabilization exercises without abdominal control feedback (n = 45), and group 3 received active self-exercise as a control group (n = 45). Posture, pain, proprioception, strength, and electromyography were assessed before and after the interventions. Results: There were significant between-group differences in pain, proprioception, strength, and electromyography favoring group 1. There were significant within-group changes in posture, pain, proprioception, strength, and electromyography in both groups 1 and 2. No significant change was observed for muscle strength. Conclusion: The addition of abdominal control feedback to the scapular stabilization exercises was shown to be superior to the scapular stabilization exercises alone for decreasing neck pain and restoring proper proprioception, strength, and electromyography in females with forward head and round shoulder postures and neck movement impairment. Clinical Relevance: The addition of abdominal control feedback to scapular stabilization exercises is superior to scapular stabilization exercises alone on the neck for improving electromyography, strength, and function in females with forward head and round shoulder postures and neck movement impairment.

Objective: Blackburn exercises and Rhythmic stabilization technique is effective to stabilize and control scapular movements. The study compares the effects of Blackburn exercises and Rhythmic Stabilization on scapular dyskinesis in guitarists. Methods: A total of 40 acoustic guitarists of both genders with scapular dyskinesia, aged 18-35 years, with an experience of minimum 2 years playing for at least 20 hours/week were included in the study. The subjects were allocated in two groups- Group A and Group B. Both the groups were given Pectoralis minor stretching. Along with that, the guitarists in Group A were given Blackburn exercises while in the Group B were given Rhythmic Stabilization 3 times/week for 4 consecutive weeks. Scapular dyskinesis was measured by Lateral Scapular Slide Test, the tightness in the pectoral muscles with Pectoralis Minor Muscle Length test, functional assessment was done by Shoulder Pain and Disability Index and pain with Algometer. Outcome measures used pre intervention were remeasured and compared in two groups using SPSS 21.0 version. Findings: Homogeneity was maintained with regards to gender and age in both the groups. The result of the study for both the groups post intervention showed a significant improvement in all the outcome measures with p value <0.05. Blackburn exercise and Rhythmic Stabilization were advantageous individually for all the outcome measure suggestive of improvement on scapular dyskinesia; however, when comparing the post-test results, Blackburn's intervention outperformed Rhythmic stabilization by a substantial margin (p value <0.005) for scapular dyskinesia in guitarists. Thereby concluding that both Blackburn exercises and Rhythmic Stabilization is effective in improving scapular dyskinesis in guitarists, with Blackburn exercises being more effective than Rhythmic Stabilization. Novelty: This work has established the efficacy of Backburn exercises over the age-old technique of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation as a new approach for shoulder dyskinesia treatment. Keywords: Blackburn exercises, Rhythmic stabilization, Scapular dyskinesis, Lateral scapular slide test, Guitarists

Full textAbstract:
AbstractStabilization exercises have been a focus and mainstay of many therapeutic and performance training programs in the past decade. Whether the focus is core stabilization for the spine or scapular stabilization, clinicians and trainers alike have endorsed these programs, largely on the basis of conceptual theory and anecdotal experience. The notion that an unstable scapula is related to shoulder dysfunction and pathology is well accepted, but is it accurate? The aim of this perspective article is to challenge the concept of scapular stabilization through the application of biomechanical and motor control constructs. The objectives are to critically examine current beliefs about scapular stabilization, to discuss definitions of stabilization and stability in the context of the scapulothoracic region, and to evaluate key evidence regarding scapular stabilization and scapular dyskinesia. Several new approaches that may affect the understanding of normal and atypical scapula motion are explored. Finally, a historical analogy is presented and future research and clinical directions are suggested. The aims are to lead readers to the essential concepts implied on scapular stabilization, to increase the critical thought process in rehabilitation practice, and to suggest some open topics to be explored in future research.

Background: Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder occurring in Upper Cross Syndrome which involves pain and discomfort around the neck region, which causes limitation in activities of daily living and impact the health of an individual and can also be a risk factor for reduced general productivity. Few studies have shown higher evidence in younger adults as a result of sustained exposure to abnormal posture, which increases the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. This intervention aims on the restoration of the muscle imbalance and to reduce pain and increase range of motion. Objective: To study the effect of Scapular Stabilization Exercises with and without Thoracic Mobilization on neck pain and range of motion in Upper Cross Syndrome in young adults. Method: This is a comparative study where 70 subjects were selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria and assigned to group A (n=35; Exercise group) and group B (n=35; Exercise with Mobilization group) respectively. Scapular stabilization exercises were given to both the groups. The intervention was given for 4 days/week for 4 weeks. Pain and Range of Motion was assessed pre and post intervention using VAS and Goniometer. The data was collected and statistically analysed. Results: Both groups showed (p<0.001) differences in all outcome measures between pre-test and post-test values of Group A and Group B. Results of this study indicated that after 4 weeks of upper thoracic mobilization in addition to scapular stabilization exercises, the Cervical ROM significantly increased in comparison to the scapular stabilization exercise group which in terms of flexion, extension, left and right lateral flexion, and left and right rotation. Conclusion: The study concludes that Thoracic Mobilization along with Scapular Stabilization exercises had a significant effect in reducing pain, increasing flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation range of motion as compared to Scapular stabilization exercises only. Keywords: upper cross syndrome, neck pain, young adults, scapular stabilization exercises, thoracic mobilization, range of motion
