What this trial studies
This randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of scapular stabilization exercises combined with pectoralis minor stretching on fast bowlers suffering from scapular dyskinesia. A total of 26 male fast bowlers aged 21-30 will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving targeted exercises or a control group performing generalized shoulder exercises. The intervention will consist of three sessions per week over six weeks, with assessments conducted using various measurement tools. Data will be analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the intervention compared to the control.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are male fast bowlers aged 21-30 with scapular dyskinesia affecting their dominant side.
Not a fit: Patients with previous fractures in the affected arm or serious injuries during treatment may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could improve shoulder stability and performance in fast bowlers with scapular dyskinesia.
How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific combination of exercises has not been widely tested in this population.
