Summary

The scapula functions as a bridge connecting the upper extremity and the trunk. It contributes to more efficient and functional upper extremity movements. Scapular dyskinesis, defined as a deviation from the resting position and movements of the scapula, can reduce shoulder proprioception, scapular muscle endurance, and upper extremity function. The aim is to compare the long-term effects of exercises performed using the ShoulderSphere and the Bodyblade, which provide oscillatory stimulation and vibration, enhancing neuromuscular control that improves these factors. Forty-five volunteers with asymptomatic scapular dyskinesis will be randomized into three groups. The control group will receive resistive scapular muscle exercises. The ShoulderSphere group will receive exercises performed using the ShoulderSphere in addition to the control group. The Bodyblade group will receive exercises performed using the Bodyblade in addition to the control group. Pre- and post-treatment proprioception, muscle endurance, and upper extremity function will be assessed, and the groups will be compared. The study results will analyze which method is more effective in the rehabilitation program of individuals with asymptomatic scapular dyskinesis and determine its inclusion in the rehabilitation program.

Conditions

  • Scapular Dyskinesis

Interventions

OTHER

Strengthening Exercises

Strengthening exercises targeting the middle and lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscles will be performed. The program will progress by increasing the number of exercises and the amount of resistance.

OTHER

ShoulderSphere Exercises and Resistive Exercises

In addition to strengthening exercises, exercises will be performed using the ShoulderSphere in the frontal, sagittal and transverse planes with the shoulders in 90° flexion and the elbows in extension.

OTHER

Bodyblade Exercises and Resistive Exercises

In addition to strengthening exercises, 15 minutes of exercises using the Bodyblade will be performed. Individuals will perform oscillation exercises in the frontal, sagittal, and transverse planes while holding the Bodyblade bar firmly with their shoulders in 90° flexion and elbows in extension.
