Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a 4-week rhythm-based stabilization exercise protocol for professional video gamers diagnosed with scapular dyskinesis. Participants will undergo a structured exercise program consisting of 6 specific scapular stabilization exercises. These exercises will be performed on both stable surfaces (such as a treatment table or wall) and unstable surfaces (such as Swiss balls) to challenge neuromuscular control. The primary goal is to determine how this combined approach affects scapular control, upper extremity functional performance, and joint range of motion. Data will be collected through clinical assessments before and after the 4-week intervention to measure improvements in scapular stability and overall upper limb function.

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Rhythm-Based Scapular Stabilization Program	"A 4-week exercise program consisting of 6 specific scapular stabilization exercises based on the rhythmic stabilization technique. The program includes 2 sets of 10 repetitions for each exercise, performed twice weekly. It utilizes both stable surfaces (wall/table) and unstable surfaces (Swiss balls) to challenge neuromuscular control and improve scapular stability in video gamers."
