Variations in scapular kinematics are often associated with different conditions of shoulder pain. Increased scapular internal rotation decreased scapular upward rotation and decreased posterior tilt are common changes. Its still unclear whether shoulder pain is caused by or caused by altered scapular motion. This study aims to determine the certainties and uncertainties pertaining to Scapular Dyskinesis. A database search was conducted in PubMed MEDLINE SCOPUS and Google Scholar for studies including Scapular Dyskinesis as a condition as well as functional adaptation. Scapular Dyskinesis has been linked to an increased risk of shoulder pain in athletes and its possible that this is also true in the general population. Its been discovered in overhead athletes as a variation. A lack of definitive reliability exists in the measures used to determine Scapular location. There was also no evidence of a cause-and-effect relationship between Scapular Dyskinesis and shoulder pathology in studies. In terms of Scapular Dyskinesis there are certainties and uncertainties. There have been gaps in the cause-effect relationship of Scapular Dyskinesis and shoulder pathology and also the evaluation of scapula role in dynamic activity. As a result more research is necessary to understand the significance of Scapular Dyskinesis and its function in both healthy people and people with shoulder dysfunctions.nbsp","PeriodicalId":213234,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127475808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Muscles such as levator scapulae rhomboids serratus\u0000 anterior and trapezius play an important role in rotational movements and\u0000 scapular stabilization. Scapula also plays a very important role in\u0000 coordinating and maintaining the shoulder kinematics. Functionally the\u0000 muscles of scapula stabilizing the scapula is vital during pulling throwing\u0000 and overhead arm movements. Thus any injury to the scapula leads to muscle\u0000 weakness resulting in functional limitations such as throwing pulling and\u0000 performing overhead activities. Scapular muscle weakness can also cause\u0000 scapular dyskinesia which is the abnormal mobility or function of the\u0000 scapula and the scapular bony prominence will be prominent. Thus\u0000 strengthening of scapular muscles is very important for the prevention of\u0000 scapular dyskinesis. There are limited studies with respect to strength\u0000 profile in collegiate students. Hence there is a need to understand the\u0000 strength profile of scapular muscles in college students. The objective of\u0000 this study was to determine the strength profile of scapular\u0000 muscles.Methodology This was an observational study involving 111 subjects.\u0000 The participants were selected based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria\u0000 from a physiotherapy college. The participants in the age group of 18-23\u0000 years with a normal range of motion ROM were recruited. Exclusion criteria\u0000 included participants with any recent fractures of upper limb any kind of\u0000 limited shoulder disorders neuron disorders participants with limited\u0000 shoulder ROM due to pain and or stiffness. Strength was assessed using\u0000 dynamometer and lateral pulldown machine for the individual shoulder\u0000 muscles. A descriptive analysis was conducted in this study and the data\u0000 were presented as strength measured in pounds lbs.Results The strength\u0000 profile of scapular muscles for both men and women in the age group 18-22\u0000 years was presented in pounds lbs. Among men strength of right-side\u0000 rhomboids 16.04plusmn5.64 right side middle trapezius 15.56 plusmn5.79 and\u0000 for right side lower trapezius 16.30plusmn5.77 were higher than the left\u0000 sided strength for the same muscles. Even among women strength of right-side\u0000 rhomboids 18.99plusmn9.69 right sided middle trapezius 17.75plusmn9.60 and\u0000 right sided lower trapezius 18.53plusmn9.53 were greater compared to left\u0000 side.Conclusion From this study it was concluded that young men have more\u0000 strength compared to young women. As no data regarding normative values is\u0000 available the values obtained in our study cannot be compared to normal\u0000 values. However the analysis showed that right side has more strength in\u0000 both men and women.","PeriodicalId":213234,"journal":{"name":"RGUHS Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116049796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
