Summary

To study the combination of upper extremity PNF patterns and SS exercises on improving neck pain, function, scapular position, and scapular muscles strength in patients with NSCNP and SD.

Conditions

  • Scapular Dyskinesis

Interventions

OTHER

PNF

Upper extremity PNF exercise is an exercise method that dynamically stabilizes the scapula and affect scapular muscles activity (Witt et al., 2011). Upper extremity PNF patterns consisted of four diagonal patterns (D1 flexion, D2 flexion, D1 extension, and D2 extension) and six key components manual contact, body position, verbal cues pattern of movement, timing of movement and resistance. Patient will be at sitting position with involved side up, head, spine, and scapula in neutral

Traditional neck pain treatment

Cervical muscles stretch + Craniocervical retraction ex + Manual therapy

OTHER

Traditional neck pain treatment + Blackburn scapular stabilization exercises

The patients will receive Traditional treatment of neck pain and Scapular stabilization exercises (Blackburn exercises). Blackburn exercises are one of the ways to treat scapular dyskinesia. Perform 2 sets of 20 repetitions of each exercise each session (3 sessions per week) for four weeks (panse et al .,2018). The exercise load will be 60% of the one-repetition maximum (1-RM) during the first week due to their first exposure to the exercises. The evaluation of one-repetition maximum (1-RM) will be every week for all exercises. From the second evaluation, more weight will be added (compare to the previous evaluation) to maintain the overload.
