Brief summary

The study aimed to investigate the effect of scapular muscle training using a suspension system in patients with non spacific chronic neck pain with scapular diskinesia

Interventions

DEVICESuspension system

suspended from the handles of the straps by either their hands or feet while the non-suspended pair of extremities are in contact with the ground leading to muscle activation due to unstable base of support

OTHERScapular training exercises

Scapular muscle strength by resistance

Healthy volunteers

Inclusion criteria

* Patients age between 20-35 years. * Patients with non spacific pain(pain \> 3 month). * pain must have been present for at least the previous 12 weeks. * Patients with non spacific chronic neck pain with scapular dyskinesia. * Patient BMI\<30.

Exclusion criteria

* History of previous neck surgery. * Recent or old fractures. * Cognitive impairment and inability to understand the scale. * Systematic inflammatory disease e.g., rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing Spondylitis. * Neck pain with radiculopathy or neuropathy. * Scapular dyskinesia due to other pathology such as shoulder impingement

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Pain intensity	1week	Pain intensity is measured by neumeric pain rating scale the lowest value is 0 means no pain and the highest value is 10 means the worst pain
Function	1 week	Function is measured by neck disability index the total score is 50 as the score is higher the disability is higher
Scapular muscle strength	1week	Scapular muscle strength is measured by hand held dynanometer
Scapular position	1week	Scapular position is measured by lateral scapular slide test
