Details |
| Comparator Agent |
Exercise group |
This group will receive instruction on exercises once in a conventional setting, and
they will be encouraged to exercise at home for 3 days with the same regimen as other groups. |
| Intervention |
Rigid Taping |
Then participants will be instructed to retract and depress the scapula, and pre
tensioned strip of rigid tape will then be applied diagonally from the middle of the scapular spine to the twelfth thoracic vertebrae and will be removed after 3 days for post assessment. |
| Intervention |
Visual feedback |
One video camera will be placed at the back, the participants will then be given the command to “Retract the chest slightly†and exercises will be implemented for 3 days consecutively. |

Brief Summary
|
The presence of bone and soft tissue injuries, as well as muscle weakness and inflexibility, can
alter the roles of the scapula and alter the scapular resting position and/or dynamic motion. An altered scapular position/movement has been termed as ‘scapular dyskinesis’. Scapular dyskinesis is observed
in 48% of asymptomatic individuals worldwide. Various feedback mechanisms like taping, visual cues, and conscious control have shown benefits in enhancing scapular kinematics, particularly for Type II scapular dyskinesis. Comparing proprioceptive taping and visual feedback aims to assess treatment accessibility and effectiveness, supporting potential remote, self-managed interventions. This study on asymptomatic individuals could help inform clinical practice for broader populations, reducing shoulder pain risk and improving outcomes. |
