Scapular movement training versus standardized exercises for individuals with chronic shoulder pain: protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Scapular focused exercise interventions are frequently used to treat individuals with shoulder pain. However, evidence for changes in scapular motion after intervention is limited.

Objective

To compare the effects of scapular movement training versus standardized exercises for individuals with shoulder pain.

Methods

This will be a single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Sixty-four individuals with shoulder pain for at least 3 months, scapular dyskinesis, and a positive scapular assistance test will be randomly allocated to one of two groups: Scapular Movement Training (group 1) and Standardized Exercises (group 2). Group 1 will receive education about scapular position and movement, and be trained to modify the scapular movement pattern. Group 2 will pe
