Summary

Shoulder pain is an experience that most of the people can expect to deal in their lives due to over-exertion or postural asymmetries, which may or may not have it interfering with the normal activities of their daily living. Shoulder pain associated with scapular dyskinesia can be associated with restricted joint range of motion and loss of muscle strength, and is among the most common conditions treated by physical therapists. The patho-mechanisms of shoulder pain are only scarcely known but it is associated with both psychosocial and physical factors. Although there is some evidence of pain reduction, improving range of motion and function occurring following global posture reeducation, scapular stabilizing exercise, it is not known how the training influences the muscle activities of persons shoulder pain associated scapular dyskinesia.

Conditions

  • Scapular Dyskinesis

Interventions

OTHER

Global Postural Reeducation

Two stretching postures were maintained for 10 minutes each. * In order to stretch the posterior muscle chain(the supine posture with hip flexion, which stretches the posterior muscle chain) the patient lay in the supine position with the occipital, lumbar, and sacral spine stabilized, with the lower limbs at 90° hip flexion, and performed gradual knee extensions, and dorsiflexion of the ankle. * In order to stretch the anterior muscle chain (the supine posture with leg extension, which progressively stretches the anterior muscle chain) the patient lay in the supine position with the upper limbs abducted at 30° and the forearms supine.. Hips were flexed, abducted, and laterally rotated, with the soles of the feet touching each other. Gradually, respecting the patient's limits, the lower limbs were extended as much as possible and adduction of the upper limbs.

OTHER

Scapular Stabilization Exercises

1\) Push up plus and 2) press up, were selected in reference to a study for scapular stabilization. During the 5-week intervention training, sets of repetitions were increased progressively. In the first week participants performed 3 sets of each exercise (10 repetitions × 10-second duration each) and worked up to a maximum of 5 sets of 10 repetitions in the last weeks of the intervention.
