Compares treatment options for Scapular Dyskinesis
Official title Routine Rehabilitation Versus Shock Wave Therapy for Scapular Dyskinesis
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07633340
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- It has been proposed that altered scapular muscle function can contribute to alterations in shoulder kinematics, which often lead to SD and are frequently associated with other shoulder pathologies, such as RC tears, labrum tears, impingement syndrome, and glenohumeral joint instability. However, whether SD leads to the development of these diseases or is a consequence has yet to be clarified.
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
