- University population were screened for subjects with scapular downward rotation, those who met the following criteria was recruited in this study. The inclusion criteria for subject selection in this study was based on the literature (Caldwell et al., 2007; Ha et al., 2011) which included:
- The scapula was downwardly rotated by visual appraisal.We examined the root of spine of scapulae (superior angle) and inferior angle of scapulae. If scapulae was downwardly rotated, inferior angle closer to spine than root of spine of scapulae (superior angle).

Read the detailed description
This study was conducted to investigate the effects of scapular upward rotation exercises on strength duration curve and pressure pain threshold (PPT) in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome.
Thirty subjects with age range of 18 to 30 years with scapular downward rotation were recruited in this study.
Thirty subjects of both gender with scapular downward rotation were recruited in this study.
All recruited subjects were examined to exclude defined pathological conditions.
All subjects were assessed by screening examination for downward rotation of scapula.
Pressure pain threshold was measured using pressure algometer. Mechanosensitivity of neural tissue was measured using neurodynamic test. Pain was measured using strength-duration (SD) curve. Treatment program consisted of 3 sessions/week, for 6 weeks. All measurements were taken pre and post the treatment period.

Upward rotation exerciseOther
Treatment for correction of depressed scapular Alignment by exercise ( Upward Rotation Exercises) for 6 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| one group | Experimental | The treatment program consisted of upward rotation exercises for 3 sessions/week, for 6 weeks. Receives: Other: Upward rotation exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Neural excitability
Neural excitability measured by Strenght-duration cruve.
Measured: Strenght-duration curve for neural excitability is measured before starting the treatment.Strenght-duration is measured after application of 6 weeks treatment program.

Pressure pain threshold
Pressure pain threshold was measured using pressure algometer.
Measured: All measurements were taken pre and post the treatment period (6 weeks).

What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Upward rotation exercise in people with Scapular Dyskinesis, run by Cairo University.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Doha Al-Afifi (01003169353, doha.h.afifi@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Neural excitability (time frame: Strenght-duration curve for neural excitability is measured before starting the treatment.Strenght-duration is measured after application of 6 weeks treatment program.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Mar 2021.
