Study Overview
Brief Summary
The presence of bone and soft tissue injuries, as well as muscle weakness and inflexibility, can alter the roles of the scapula and alter the scapular resting position and/or dynamic motion. An altered scapular position/movement has been termed as ‘scapular dyskinesis’. Scapular dyskinesis is observed in 48% of asymptomatic individuals worldwide. Various feedback mechanisms like taping, visual cues, and conscious control have shown benefits in enhancing scapular kinematics, particularly for Type II scapular dyskinesis. Comparing proprioceptive taping and visual feedback aims to assess treatment accessibility and effectiveness, supporting potential remote, self-managed interventions. This study on asymptomatic individuals could help inform clinical practice for broader populations, reducing shoulder pain risk and improving outcomes.
