Clinical Trial Summary

In recent publications evaluating scapular kinematics after stroke, it is emphasized that scapular muscles, which affect the performance of upper limbs in daily life, should not be ignored. When the literature is analyzed for these reasons, the studies in which scapular training was added to the treatment plan of upper limb rehabilitation of stroke individuals are inadequate and the existing studies have methodological deficiencies. Also, it is seen that studies which investigate the effects of these exercises on scapular kinematics, the parameters of periscapular muscle thickness and shoulder subluxation are not included. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of scapular training on scapular kinematics, periscapular muscle thickness, shoulder subluxation and upper extremity functionality in stroke individuals. The study was planned to include 2 groups, 1 treatment and 1 control group. The control group will receive Neurodevelopmental Treatment - Bobath exercises, while the treatment group will receive exercises for the muscles around the scapula in addition to Neurodevelopmental Treatment - Bobath exercises. Muscle thickness of periscapular muscles, shoulder subluxation, 3D scapular kinematics, upper extremity and trunk performance, pain, activities of daily living and quality of life will be assessed before and after 8 weeks treatment program. As a result; effectiveness of scapular training in addition to Neurodevelopmental Treatment and relationship between scapular kinematics, periscapular muscle thickness, shoulder subluxation, and upper extremity performance will be examined.
