Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Prevalence of Scapular Dyskinesis
Determined by the proportion of participants diagnosed with abnormal scapular movement patterns using the Scapular Dyskinesis Test (SDT) and Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST). Measurement Method: SDT: Observation of scapular motion during repeated shoulder flexion and abduction with light weights. Abnormal motion recorded as "Yes," normal as "No." LSST: Measurement of distance from scapular inferior angle to the nearest spinous process in different arm positions; \>1.5 cm side-to-side difference indicates dyskinesis.
At baseline (single assessment session).
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Shoulder Range of Motion (ROM)
Measurement of active and passive ROM of the shoulder joint in degrees. Measurement Method: Digital goniometer aligned with anatomical landmarks (Norkin \& White, 2016).
At baseline.
Scapular Stabilizer Muscle Strength
Strength of the serratus anterior, middle trapezius, and lower trapezius. Measurement Method: Manual Muscle Testing (MMT) using Oxford scale; grade 5 only included in statistical analysis.
At baseline.
