Abstract

Background: Scapular dyskinesis is defined as visible alterations in scapular positions and motion patterns and is believed to occur as a result of changes in activation of scapular stabilizing muscles. Scapular dyskinesis is miscellaneous condition and appeared to be prevalent in patient with neck pain and scapular muscle weakness. So, this study aims to collect evidence regarding whether neck pain is present in patient with scapular dyskinesia.

Methods: A purposive sample of 30 patients with neck pain, aged between 18 to 65 years were taken from SPB physiotherapy college. All the participants were assessed for demographics, anthropometric, side of neck pain, NPRS and type of dyskinesia.

Result: Scapular dyskinesia test when done on 150 patients with neck pain 100 (67%) were tested positive. Patient with unilateral neck pain were 130 (87%) in that 80 were right sided and 50 were left sided. Patient with bilateral neck pain were 20 (13%). There was no any statistically significant difference between the NPRS between the patient who had scapular dyskinesis and the patient without scapular dyskinesis.

Conclusion: Results of the present study concluded that there is an association of neck pain with scapular dyskinesis. There is no association between scapular dyskinesis with pain intensity.
