Therapeutic Approaches for Subjects With Scapula Dyskinesis

Therapeutic Approaches for Subjects With Scapula Dyskinesis: Conscious Control, EMG Biofeedback Training, and Intensive Scapula-focused Intervention

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 139 (actual)
• Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 50 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The investigators will test whether conscious control with manual guides and video or EMG biofeedback will enhance 3-D kinematics of scapula in shoulder dysfunction subjects with different type of scapula dyskinesis. The investigators will also examine how correction of scapular orientation may affect the activation of associated muscles during various dynamic movements in these subjects.

Conditions

• Shoulder Impingement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Conscious control	Conscious control of the scapula is important and can correct neuromuscular coordination as well as strength deficits. The strategy in learning control of scapula into normal orientation can be facilitated by manual guides and/or external cues
OTHER	Conscious control+biofeedback	In electromyography (EMG) biofeedback training, electronic equipment is used to reveal instantaneously certain physiological events.
