What this Trial Is About
The scapula functions as a bridge connecting the upper extremity and the trunk. It contributes to more efficient and functional upper extremity movements. Scapular dyskinesis, defined as a deviation from the resting position and movements of the scapula, can reduce shoulder proprioception, scapular muscle endurance, and upper extremity function. The aim is to compare the long-term effects of exercises performed using the ShoulderSphere and the Bodyblade, which provide oscillatory stimulation and vibration, enhancing neuromuscular control that improves these factors. Forty-five volunteers with asymptomatic scapular dyskinesis will be randomized into three groups. The control group will receive resistive scapular muscle exercises. The ShoulderSphere group will receive exercises performed using the ShoulderSphere in addition to the control group. The Bodyblade group will receive exercises performed using the Bodyblade in addition to the control group. Pre- and post-treatment proprioception, muscle endurance, and upper extremity function will be assessed, and the groups will be compared. The study results will analyze which method is more effective in the rehabilitation program of individuals with asymptomatic scapular dyskinesis and determine its inclusion in the rehabilitation program.
