- Brief Summary
Shoulder protraction is the forward tilt of the head with hyperextension of the cervical spine and is associated with lengthening of the sternocleidomastoid and scalene muscles. With the lengthening of the flexor muscles, the weakened and shortened trapezius, levator scapula, and serratus anterior muscles lead to extra flexor torque and sustained contraction.
- Detailed Description
Weakness in the rotator cuff muscles, especially infraspinatus and supraspinatus muscles, has been observed in individuals with scapular dyskinesia and who frequently use overhead movements in their daily lives. The most important point to be considered in the treatment of scapular dyskinesia is the effective evaluation and treatment of primary and secondary symptoms and conditions. The preference of shoulder rehabilitation programs in which the scapula is also included in the treatment program will provide great benefits to physiotherapists in terms of treatment. Effective treatment can be provided by taping, exercise and many other treatment methods.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method New York Posture Scale one day Posture analysis is done while standing upright. Postures of the subjects participating in the study were evaluated with the New York Posture Scale. In this evaluation system, posture that can occur in 13 different parts of the body is evaluated. For scoring, a score of five was given if the person's posture was correct, three if it was moderately impaired, and one if it was severely impaired. The total score obtained with the test evaluation is a maximum of 65 and a minimum of 13. Standard evaluation criteria developed for this test were defined as "very good" if the total score was \>=45, "good" if 40-44, "moderate" if 30-39, "poor" if 20-29, and "poor" if \<=19. detected.
Proprioception Evaluation one day An inclinometer is an instrument that records angular movements with respect to gravity. The inclinometer has many advantages such as precise measurement, digital display, and ease of use. In our study, inclinometer will be used to evaluate proprioception.
The patient is first brought to 30° shoulder flexion position 3 times while standing and asked to memorize this position. Then the patient is asked to find the same position with his eyes closed. The patient is asked to return to the upright position and find the 30° flexion position. The same procedure is repeated in sitting position at 30° flexion and 15° extension positions. This process is repeated 3 times and the results are recorded. The average of these 3 measurements will be used in the analysis of the data.Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) one day In the measurement of neck pain severity, it was planned to use a standard, proven 10 mm VAS. Patients will be asked to determine a value between 0 and 10 for the VAS, with 0 in the absence of pain and 10 mm in the most severe pain.
