Shoulder blade movement study in physical therapists
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at how common a certain shoulder blade movement problem (scapular dyskinesis) is among physical therapists. It will help researchers understand why some therapists might have shoulder issues and how to prevent them.

This trial tests if special exercises for the shoulder blade (scapula) can reduce shoulder pain better than standard exercises. It is for people with shoulder pain that has lasted at least one month and who have a shoulder blade that moves incorrectly.
This study tests whether adding mental training (watching movements and imagining yourself moving) to regular physical therapy exercises improves shoulder pain and function. If you have a muscle-related shoulder problem and meet the basic health requirements, this program might help you recover more effectively.

This study uses ultrasound to look for early signs of shoulder blade (scapular) movement issues in people with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a type of arthritis that affects the spine. It also includes people without AS who have activity-related discomfort to compare results.
This study compares two exercises (rowing while lying face down vs. a lateral pull-down machine) to see which works better for shoulder impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. It focuses on people aged 40–65 who are overweight and have had pain for at least 3 months.
