Scapular Dyskinesis Scapular Dyskinesis Volleyball Overhead Athletes
Conditions
Interventions
The main intervention of this study is a kinetic chain approach exercise programme for overhead athletes with Scapular Dyskinesis (SD). This exercise programme is based on previous research (McMullen&
2000). This exercise programme will be provided for experimental group 1.
Exercises that may be prescribed as part of the sessions include:
• Inferior glide 10 * 5 sec hold
• Low row 10 * 5 sec h
the same intervention will be provided,
but with the addition of two mirrors. One mirror will be placed in front of the participant and the other behind the participant. This will be done in each participant,
in order to be able to observe their opposite-
non dyskinetic scapula during exercise execution.
Exercises that may be prescribed as part of the sessions include:
• Inferior glide 10 * 5 sec hold
• Low row 10 * 5 sec hold
• Lawn Mower 3 set
