Effect of Scapular Stabilization Excercise With Pectoralis Minor Stretching in Ballers Having Scapular Dyskinesia

November 9, 2023 updated by: Riphah International University

Effect of Scapular Stabilization Exercises Along With Pectoralis Minor Stretching on Throwing Velocity of Male Fast Ballers Having Scapular Dyskinesia

The study is randomized and single -blinded. Ethical approval is taken from ethical committee of Riphah International university Lahore. participant selected through non probability convenience sampling technique on 26 fast bowlers which further players were randomly divided into two groups, group A (Experimental group) and group B (Control group), having 13 players in each group. Scapular stabilization exercises along with pectoralis minor stretching were administered in group A whereas generalized shoulder exercises along with self-stretching of shoulder muscles were performed in group B.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

It will be randomized controlled trial (RCT) research design at AL Fatah sports complex and Saeed Ajmal cricket academy through non probability convenience sampling technique on 26 fast bowlers which further players were randomly divided into two groups, group A (Experimental group) and group B (Control group), having 13 players in each group. Scapular stabilization exercises along with pectoralis minor stretching were administered in group A whereas generalized shoulder exercises along with self-stretching of shoulder muscles were performed in group B. Assessment will be made by pocket radar, pectoralis minor index and Vernier caliper. There will be 3 sessions in a week for 6 weeks. The baseline scoring will be on 1st day, follow up will be taken at 6th week. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 26. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: stabilization exercises

Scapular stabilization exercise

Scapular Retraction Exercise:

2. Scapular Wall Slide: Stand with your back against a wall and your feet shoulder-width apart.Raise your arms to shoulder height with your elbows bent at a 90-degree angle, so that your hands are pointing up

  • Slide your arms up the wall as high as you can, while keeping your shoulder blades pinched together and down
  • Hold the position for 5-10 seconds, then slowly lower your arms back down to the starting position
  • Repeat for 10-15 repetitions
this include stabilization exercise thrice a week for six weeks
Experimental: stabilization exercises along with pectoralis minor stretching

pectoralis minor stretch: Stand facing a wall or a doorway. Raise your right arm to shoulder height and place your right forearm against the wall or doorway, with your elbow bent at a 90-degree angle.

Step forward with your right foot until you feel a stretch in your chest and shoulder.

Slowly lean forward, keeping your arm against the wall or doorway, until you feel a deeper stretch in your chest and shoulder.

Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds, then release and repeat on the other side. Repeat the stretch 2-3 times on each side.

this include stabilization exercise with pectoralis minor thrice a week for six weeks
