Summary

It was hypothesized that: There is no statistical significant effects of a scapular vupward rotation exercise (SURE) on scapular alignment in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS). There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on mechanosensitivity of the upper limb peripheral nervous system in a depressed scapular alignment subjects. There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on pressure Pain Threshold in a depressed scapular alignment subjects. There is no statistical significant effects a scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE)on Strenght Duration Curve measurement in a depressed scapular alignment subjects.

Detailed description

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of scapular upward rotation exercises on strength duration curve and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome. Thirty subjects with age range of 18 to 30 years with scapular downward rotation were recruited in this study. Thirty subjects of both gender with scapular downward rotation were recruited in this study. All recruited subjects were examined to exclude defined pathological conditions. All subjects were assessed by screening examination for downward rotation of scapula. Pressure pain threshold was measured using pressure algometer. Mechanosensitivity of neural tissue was measured using neurodynamic test. Pain was measured using strength-duration (SD) curve. Treatment program consisted of 3 sessions/week, for 6 weeks. All measurements were taken pre and post the treatment period.
