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.
