Read the detailed description
Scapular dyskinesia (SD) is an alteration in the normal position or motion of the scapula during coupled scapulohumeral movements. It is lack of control of static or dynamic positioning of the scapula relative to the thorax. It affects from 64% to 100% of patients with shoulder lesions. Scapular dyskinesia is a major etiological factor in overhead athletes' shoulder problems. Virtual Reality (VR) it allows individuals to interact and train with or within interesting and relatively realistic three-dimensional(3D) environments. VR and its simulated environments are well accepted in entertainment and computer game applications. However, what is not as well recognized is that VR offers the opportunity for intensive repetition of meaningful task-related activities necessary for effective rehabilitation. The scapular stabilization exercise in rehabilitation aims to Restore shoulder function; these exercises are a combination of scapular stabilization exercises, rotator cuff strengthening exercises, range of motion (ROM), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF), and stretching exercises. Physiotherapy is the mainstay management for several musculoskeletal disorders. sixty basketball athletes with dyskinesea will be assigned randomly to three equal groups; the first will receive Virtual reality exercise and routine exercise, and the second group will receive Stabilization exercise and routine exercise. and finally, the third group will receive routine exercise only for eight weeks

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| scapular stabilization exercise | Experimental | thirty patients with scapular dyskinesia will receive scapular stabilization exercise and regular routine three times a week for eight weeks Receives: Other: scapular stabilization exercises; Other: regular routine exercises |
| virtual reality exercise | Experimental | thirty patients with scapular dyskinesia will receive virtual reality exercise and regular routine three times a week for eight weeks Receives: Other: virtual reality exercises; Other: regular routine exercises |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
agonist antagonist ratio
isokinetic Biodex 3 dynamometer will be used to assess agonist antagonist ratio
Measured: up to eight weeks
Secondary outcomes (8)
Hand grip strength
Jamar handheld dynamometer will be used to assess hand grip strength
Measured: up to eight weeks
rounded shoulder posture
Patient is supine with the arms at the sides, elbows extended, palms upward, knees bent and lower back flat on the table. The examiner stands at the head of the table and use tape measurements to measure the distance between the acromion of the shoulder joint and the table surface three times. The numbers were averaged and used for analysis. Increased distance signifies higher rounded shoulder posture severity
Measured: up to eight weeks
pain intensity level
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) will be used to assess pain by Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-10. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.
Measured: up to eight weeks
The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand
The disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand (DASH) questionnaire will be used to assess the disability in arm, shoulder and hand. The DASH consists mainly of a 30- item disability/symptom scale. The possible score ranges from 0 to 100 points. 0 points represent a complete, unrestricted function of the upper extremities, while 100 points represent the greatest possible functional impairment.
Measured: up to eight weeks
peak force
isokinetic Biodex 3 dynamometer will be used to assess peak force
Measured: up to eight weeks
total work
isokinetic Biodex 3 dynamometer will be used to assess total work
Measured: up to eight weeks
work fatigue
isokinetic Biodex 3 dynamometer will be used to assess work fatigue
Measured: up to eight weeks
average power
isokinetic Biodex 3 dynamometer will be used to assess average power
Measured: up to eight weeks
