Background: Shoulder complex impairments are related to activities and occupations that require prolonged working hours or repetitive overhead activities and show a high prevalence and are rated next to low back pain. The scapular musculature is often subjected to neglect when dealing with evaluation and treatment of shoulder injuries. However, evidence on scapular dyskinesia and serratus anterior is scarce. This study evaluates the effectiveness of two different treatment intervention on neuromuscular control (Joint position sense) in asymptomatic scapular dyskinesis patients. We hypothesized that electrical muscle stimulation with voluntary contraction is a better intervention as compared to taping to correct joint position sense. Methodology: The study was conducted at research laboratory of Sardar Bhagwan Singh Post Graduate Institute of Biomedical Sciences And Research. Twenty fe.. View More»
