Conditions

Scapular Dyskinesia. Scapular dyskinesis is an alteration or deviation in the normal resting or active position of the scapula during shoulder movement. Also known as “SICK” Scapula Syndrome refers to Scapular malpositioning, inferior medial border prominence, coracoid pain a

Interventions

Intervention 1: Intervention group: Mulligan Mobilization with Movement. Intervention 2: Control group: Corrective Exercises.

Eligibility

All
Age
30 Years to 50 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Both male and female aged 30-50years. Patients diagnosed with distal radius fracture. Patient treated with closed reduction and plaster immobilization. Patients having distal radius fracture at least 6weeks ago, after removal of cast. Patients with scapular dyskinesis measured using lateral scapular slide test. Side to side difference of more than 1.5cm considered significant.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients having complications after removal of cast (e.g. compartment syndrome, Complex regional pain syndrome 1, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist drop, neural or vascular issues etc.). Patient having any shoulder pathology before fracture and after removal of cast (e.g. shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, impingement syndrome, shoulder instability, bursitis, fracture etc.). Patient having any radiculopathy or radiculitis. Patients having any neck problem e.g. neck muscles spasm, wry neck, torticollis etc. Patient having any spine deformity e.g. kyphosis, scoliosis etc. Patients who are medically unstable. Patients who are not willing to participate.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Lateral Scapular Slide Test. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention and after 4 weeks of intervention as final reading. Method of measurement: Scapular distance was measured using 8inch ruler from inferior angle of scapula to the adjacent vertebrae (T7/T8).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
QuickDASH score. Timepoint: Baseline reading before intervention and final reading was taken at 4th week after intervention. Method of measurement: Disability score was calculated of each individual by the formula given on QuickDASH questionnaire.
