Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Excercise therapy group

The group that recived scapular muscle training exercises

Other: Scapular training exercises
Scapular muscle strength by resistance
Experimental: Suspension group

The group that recived scapular muscle training using suspension system

Device: Suspension 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
Other Names:
  • Sling therapy

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 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

    2. Function [1 week]

      Function is measured by neck disability index the total score is 50 as the score is higher the disability is higher

    3. Scapular muscle strength [1week]

      Scapular muscle strength is measured by hand held dynanometer

    4. Scapular position [1week]

      Scapular position is measured by lateral scapular slide test
