"Study On The Impact Of Shoulder Blade Strengthening Exercises On Shoulder Movement Issues In College Students"

Not yet recruiting

Conditions: Type of Scapular Dyskinesia and Scapular Stabilization Exercises

Registration Number: CTRI/2025/06/088286

Lead Sponsor: Ramya A

Brief Summary: The Study Was approved by the Institutional Ethical Committee [IEC] – Ethical Clearance Number: SRMIEC-ST0125-2074 of SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre. College Students Presenting with Scapular Dyskinesia will be Selected Based on Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria. Prior to Participation, the Procedure Will be Explained in Detail, and Informed Consent Will Be Obtained From All Participants. The Assessment of Scapular Dyskinesia Will Be Done Using The Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST), Which Measures Scapular Asymmetry in Three Positions of Shoulder Abduction (0°, 45°, and 90°) by Calculating the Distance Between the Inferior Angle of the Scapula and the Nearest Spinous Process Using a Measuring Tape. Participants Will Undergo a 6-Week Scapular Stabilization Exercise Program, Targeting Key Scapular Muscles to Improve Scapular Control and Reduce Asymmetry. Exercises will be Performed Under Supervision to Ensure Safety and Consistency. Outcome Measures Will be Recorded Before and After the Intervention, Including. Scapular Asymmetry (via LSST), Pain Intensity (via Visual Analog Scale), Upper Limb Function (via DASH questionnaire).

The Collected Data Will be Statistically Analyzed to Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Scapular Stabilization Exercise Program On the Type and Degree of Scapular Dyskinesia and Related Functional Outcomes.
