Group	Intervention	Description
Excercise therapy group	Scapular training exercises	The group that recived scapular muscle training exercises
Suspension group	Suspension system	The group that recived scapular muscle training using suspension system

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Function	1 week	Function is measured by neck disability index the total score is 50 as the score is higher the disability is higher
Scapular muscle strength	1week	Scapular muscle strength is measured by hand held dynanometer
Pain intensity	1week	Pain intensity is measured by neumeric pain rating scale the lowest value is 0 means no pain and the highest value is 10 means the worst pain
Scapular position	1week	Scapular position is measured by lateral scapular slide test
