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.
