SUMMARY

Scapular dyskinesia is defined by abnormal movement or placement of the scapula, the shoulder blade, during arm movements. Physical treatment aimed at regaining appropriate scapular mechanics through strengthening exercises, postural correction, and functional movement training is typically part of management. A randomized clinical trial will be conducted. The study will be conducted at Unique school and on school going children in a total duration of 10 months. Sample size will be 22.There will be two study groups. A convenient sampling technique will be used. The sample which will have following characteristics will be included children with age group 9 to 12 years, positive scapular test, positive scapular assistance test, athletes who practice one hour three days a week. The sample with the following characteristics will be excluded. Any muscular or joint deformity, scoliosis, shoulder dislocation. The tools that will be included in the study are modified lateral scapular test, shoulder flexion test, shoulder and pain disability index, upper extremity functional use scale, posture and posture assessment scale, shoulder and scapular ranges.
