About

to investigate the effect of Scapular dyskinesia on the scapular balance angle & upper extremity Sensorimotor Function in spastic stroke patient.

Full description

Background: Post stroke Scapular dyskinesia leads to scapulohumeral pain & dysfunction were associated with decreased motor function, somatosensory function, limited range of motion, and spasticity.

Objective: to investigate the effect of Scapular dyskinesia on the scapular balance angle & upper extremity Sensorimotor Function in spastic stroke patient.

Methods: sixty patients from both sexes were participated in this study. All the patients were diagnosed as spastic stroke patients. The patients were divided into two equal groups; group A (30 patients): with high scapular dyskinesia scores, group B (30 patients): with low or no scapular dyskinesia scores. The patients were diagnosed with the Lateral scapular slide test using Palpation meter (PALM) device, Fugl-Meyer upper extremity (FMUE) Scale scores & scapular balance angle test (SBA).

Enrollment: 60 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 35 to 50 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• patient diagnosed as stroke patient
• stroke onset at least 5 months prior to study enrollment and
• decreased sensorimotor function in the affected arm, but ability to use the arm to some extent in daily activities with functional to subfunctional manual muscle test
• age ranged from 35:50
• both sexes

Exclusion criteria

• difficulty to communicate or to understand test instructions
• other conditions that caused pain (for example fibromyalgia and arthritis)
• severe depression or other psychiatric symptoms
• patient with other upper limb musculoskeletal problems
