ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is designed to compare two types of exercises for basketball players who have a condition called scapular dyskinesia, which affects the muscles around the shoulder blade and can lead to pain and difficulty in movement. The study will look at the effectiveness of scapular stabilization exercises versus virtual reality exercises in improving muscle performance, reducing pain, and enhancing overall hand grip strength.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be basketball players aged between 20 and 25 years, with a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 25. Unfortunately, individuals who have had an injury in the last month, any fractures in the upper body, repetitive strain injuries, or osteoarthritis in their hands will not be able to participate. If you or someone you know fits these criteria, the trial will offer a chance to potentially improve shoulder function and reduce pain through innovative exercise methods. Participants will be closely monitored throughout the study to track their progress and experiences.
