Overview

The aim of this study is to determine the Effects of pragmatic set of interventions versus scapular strengthening exercises on scapular dyskinesia in adhesive capsulitis.

Description

Scapular dyskinesia (SD) is a term that describes a physical impairment in which the scapula's position and motion are altered.Symptoms of SD can be one or a combination of the anterior shoulder pain, Postero-superior scapular pain, superior shoulder pain, proximal lateral arm pain. scapular dyskinesia is commonly found in adhesive capsulitis patients. To determine the scapular dyskinesia with shoulder pain two tests that apply manual assistance to the scapula are lateral scapular slide test and wall push up test.

Pragmatic set of interventions are an important element in rehabilitation, and has improved the treatment of many musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Scapular strengthening exercises, which aims to improve abnormal scapular movements that commonly occur in people with adhesive capsulitis.

The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of scapular focused exercises on the rehabilitation of adhesive capsulitis, patient with scapular dyskinesia. The importance of scapular rehabilitation in the treatment of scapular dyskinesia and to examine the comparative effect of pragmatic set of intervention with scapular strengthening protocol on scapular dyskinesia.

My study on the effect of a pragmatic set of intervention versus scapular strengthening exercises on scapular dyskinesia in adhesive capsulitis is important because it addresses a gap in the current literature. While both interventions have been shown to improve scapular dyskinesia in patients with adhesive capsulitis, there is a lack of studies comparing the two methods. My study will help determine which intervention is more effective in treating scapular dyskinesia, which will be valuable information for healthcare providers working with patients with adhesive capsulitis

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Both male and females with age range b/w 25-45
  • People with adhesive capsulitis (having pain, stiffness, and decrease movements of - external rotation, forward flexion and abduction)
  • Scapular dyskinesia (positive lateral scapular slide with difference of 1.5cm when measurements are compared bilaterally)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of shoulder surgery or other significant shoulder injury, neurological or musculoskeletal conditions that may affect shoulder function.
  • History of significant medical conditions (e.g., heart disease, cancer) that may affect their ability to participate in the study.
  • Pregnant or breast feeder, as the exercise program may not be safe or appropriate for them.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
