Exercises for children with shoulder blade movement issues
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests two exercise programs—YWTL exercises and close kinetic chain exercises—for children with a shoulder blade movement problem. It aims to find which exercises help reduce pain and improve arm function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child must be between 9 and 12 years old.
- They should play overhead sports (like tennis, swimming, or baseball) for at least 1 hour, 3 times a week.

- They should have mild shoulder pain or trouble using their arm (based on special tests).
