Progressive Scapular-Focused Exercises for Neck Pain Related to Scapular Dysfunction
Effects of a Progressive Scapular-Focused Exercise Program in People With Neck Pain Related to Scapular Dysfunction
Neck pain is often associated with scapular dysfunction. However, this relationship is not present in all cases. Previous studies on scapular-focused exercises have reported inconsistent findings, possibly due to limitations in identifying individuals with scapular-related neck pain and in the specificity and progression of exercise programs. This trial aims to investigate the effects of a Progressive Scapular-Focused Exercise Program (PSEP), compared with routine physical therapy, on neck pain intensity, neck disability, scapular muscle strength, scapular position, cervical range of motion, upper limb disability, and global perceived benefit in individuals with neck pain related to scapular dysfunction.

実験的:Progressive Scapular-Focused Exercise Program
Intervention group |
The program includes axioscapular muscle stretching, axioscapular muscle control exercises, strengthening and endurance training of the axioscapular muscles, and postural correction during sitting, standing, walking, and upper-limb movements (approximately 45 minutes per session). Participants will attend 12 individual treatment sessions (2 visits per week for 6 weeks). |

アクティブコンパレータ:Routine Physical Therapy Treatment
Control |
The treatment includes routine physical therapy (e.g., modalities, range of motion and/or gentle stretching exercise) (approximately 45 minutes per session). The participants will attend 12 individual treatment sessions (2 visits per week for 6 weeks). |

メジャーの説明 |
時間枠 |
|---|---|---|
|
Neck pain intensity
時間枠:At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
The average intensity of neck pain will be assessed using a 0-10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. |
At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
|
Neck disability
時間枠:At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
The Neck Disability Index (NDI) will be used to assess the impact of neck pain on daily activities and self-reported disability. The questionnaire consists of 10 items, with a total score ranging from 0 to 50. Higher scores indicate greater neck-related disability. |
At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
|
Scapular muscle strength
時間枠:At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
Scapular muscle strength (lower trapezius and serratus anterior) will be assessed using a handheld dynamometer. |
At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
|
Scapular position
時間枠:At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
Scapular position will be assessed using the Lateral Scapular Slide Test. |
At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.

メジャーの説明 |
時間枠 |
|---|---|---|
|
Cervical range of motion
時間枠:At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
Cervical range of motion will be measured in degrees during flexion, extension, left and right lateral flexion, and left and right rotation. |
At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
|
Upper limb disability
時間枠:At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
Upper limb disability will be assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of 30 items assessing symptoms and functional limitations of the arm, shoulder, and hand. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater disability. |
At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
|
Global perceived benefit of treatment
時間枠:At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
|
Global perceived benefit of treatment will be assessed using a 7-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 7 (very satisfied). |
At baseline, immediately post-intervention, and at 3-month follow-up.
