Summary

In patients after open-heart surgery, the complaint of scapular dyskinesia is very common. It occurs due to the weakness of the muscles surrounding the scapula. In this research, investigators checked the effectiveness of scapular clock exercises in scapular dyskinesia, in post-op open heart surgery patients. There were two groups, an intervention "Active group" and a 'control group'. The patients will be randomly assigned to each group equally. The treatment session was given for a period of 4 weeks, with 3 sessions each week. They were assessed before treatment, after 2 weeks and post-intervention.
