ShoulderSphere versus Bodyblade exercises for scapular dyskinesis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Forty-five volunteers with asymptomatic scapular dyskinesis will be randomized to one of three groups: standard resistive scapular exercises alone, resistive exercises plus ShoulderSphere training, or resistive exercises plus Bodyblade training. Both the ShoulderSphere and Bodyblade provide oscillatory and vibratory stimulation intended to enhance neuromuscular control and proprioception. Outcomes including proprioception, scapular muscle endurance, and upper extremity function will be measured before and after the intervention to compare long-term effects. The single-center trial is conducted at Gazi University with supervised in-person exercise sessions and follow-up testing.
