What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of YWTL exercises and closed kinetic chain exercises in children aged 9 to 12 years who exhibit scapular dyskinesis. The study will involve two groups of participants, with a total sample size of 22, and will be conducted over a period of 10 months at Unique School Wapda Town and The Punjab School. Participants will be assessed using various tests to determine their eligibility and will engage in targeted physical exercises aimed at improving scapular mechanics and overall shoulder function.
