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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial tests whether adding “mind-based” movement practice (action observation and motor imagery) to regular physiotherapy exercises can reduce chronic, muscle-related shoulder pain. It’s designed for people who are referred in primary care and haven’t had similar shoulder physiotherapy in the last 6 months.
This trial compares a digital physiotherapy program to standard in-person care for people with subacromial shoulder pain (pain on the side of the shoulder). It aims to see if online treatments can be as effective as clinic visits.
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 tests if combining arm movement exercises with shoulder blade stabilization exercises helps people with long-term neck pain and abnormal shoulder blade motion. It aims to reduce pain and improve function.
This study compares two different shoulder-strengthening exercises for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a condition where shoulder structures get pinched) combined with scapular dyskinesia (abnormal shoulder blade movement). The goal is to see which exercise works better to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
