Summary

this study will be conducted to compare virtual reality and scapular stabilizing exercise among basketball player with scapular dyskinesia on scapular muscle performance, rounded shoulder, pain intensity , disability and hand grip strength

Detailed description

Scapular dyskinesia (SD) is an alteration in the normal position or motion of the scapula during coupled scapulohumeral movements. It is lack of control of static or dynamic positioning of the scapula relative to the thorax. It affects from 64% to 100% of patients with shoulder lesions. Scapular dyskinesia is a major etiological factor in overhead athletes' shoulder problems. Virtual Reality (VR) it allows individuals to interact and train with or within interesting and relatively realistic three-dimensional(3D) environments. VR and its simulated environments are well accepted in entertainment and computer game applications. However, what is not as well recognized is that VR offers the opportunity for intensive repetition of meaningful task-related activities necessary for effective rehabilitation. The scapular stabilization exercise in rehabilitation aims to Restore shoulder function; these exercises are a combination of scapular stabilization exercises, rotator cuff strengthening exercises, range of motion (ROM), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and stretching exercises. Physiotherapy is the mainstay management for several musculoskeletal disorders. sixty basketball athletes with dyskinesea will be assigned randomly to three equal groups; the first will receive Virtual reality exercise and routine exercise, and the second group will receive Stabilization exercise and routine exercise. and finally, the third group will receive routine exercise only for eight weeks

Conditions

• Scapular Dyskinesis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	scapular stabilization exercises	the patients will receive scapular stabilization exercises in the form of scapular orientation exercises,Forward/Backward Bear Crawls,Lateral Bear Crawls and assisted stretch for pectoralis minor
OTHER	virtual reality exercises	The exercises described were done in a consistent manner, emphasizing low intensity, and using lightweight dumbbells (range, 3 to 30 pounds). The weight of the dumbbell was individually selected by the subject for each exercise. 1. elevation of the arm in the sagittal plane (shoulder flexion 2. elevation of the arm in the scapular plane with humeral external rotation (shoulder scaption 3. elevation of the arm in the coronal plane (shoulder abduction) 4. rowing 5. horizontal shoulder abduction 6. horizontal abduction with humeral external rotation 7. push-up with hands apart 8. push-up with a plus-normal push-up adding maximum shoulder and scapular protraction with elbows fully extended 9. dumbbell bench press 10. dumbbell military press 11. shoulder shrug 12. deceleration exercise-simulating the pitching followthrough 13. shoulder extension prone 14. shoulder internal rotation 15. shoulder external rotation 16. press-up
OTHER	regular routine exercises	the patients will receive routine exercises in the form of Sleeper Stretch: Posterior Capsular Stretch, Push up, Wall slides, Kettlebell High Pull,
