Post Stroke Scapular Dyskinesia Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of Scapular Dyskinesia on the Scapular Balance Angle & Upper Extremity Sensorimotor Function in Stroke Patients With Spasticity
to investigate the effect of Scapular dyskinesia on the scapular balance angle & upper extremity Sensorimotor Function in spastic stroke patient.
Background: Post stroke Scapular dyskinesia leads to scapulohumeral pain & dysfunction were
associated with decreased motor function, somatosensory function, limited range of motion,
and spasticity.
Objective: to investigate the effect of Scapular dyskinesia on the scapular balance angle &
upper extremity Sensorimotor Function in spastic stroke patient.
Methods: sixty patients from both sexes were participated in this study. All the patients
were diagnosed as spastic stroke patients. The patients were divided into two equal groups;
group A (30 patients): with high scapular dyskinesia scores, group B (30 patients): with low
or no scapular dyskinesia scores. The patients were diagnosed with the Lateral scapular slide
test using Palpation meter (PALM) device, Fugl-Meyer upper extremity (FMUE) Scale scores &
scapular balance angle test (SBA).
