Scapular Dyskinesis With Impingement Syndrome
Sponsor: Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital
Summary
The goal of this study is to diagnose scapular dyskinesis-which can appear as a cause or result of various shoulder disorders-through screening tests in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome, the most common shoulder condition. By identifying scapular dyskinesis, the study aims to maximize treatment outcomes through appropriate rehabilitative exercise therapy.

Interventions
SD rehabilitation
For shoulder impingement syndrome, the standard rehabilitation protocol involves administering a subacromial steroid injection at the initial outpatient visit, followed by stick exercises to restore joint mobility starting three weeks later. Four weeks after initiating the stick exercises, rotator cuff strengthening exercises using therabands are introduced and maintained for a duration of six weeks. For SD rehabilitation, shoulder external rotation, push up plus, and shoulder rolls were performed. In the experimental group, rehabilitation for scapular dyskinesis will begin at the second outpatient visit, which takes place three weeks after the subacromial steroid injection.
No SD rehabilitation
For shoulder impingement syndrome, the standard rehabilitation protocol involves administering a subacromial steroid injection at the initial outpatient visit, followed by stick exercises to restore joint mobility starting three weeks later. Four weeks after initiating the stick exercises, rotator cuff strengthening exercises using therabands are introduced and maintained for a duration of six weeks. In the sham group, rehabilitation for scapular dyskinesis will not begun at the second outpatient visit, which takes place three weeks after the subacromial steroid injection.
