About

There is a paucity of research on the correlation between postural control and upper extremity function. Analyzing the mechanisms of postural deficits and related problems is believed to give idea for any conceivable advance in future rehabilitation strategies in patients with stroke.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of scapular exercises on the scapular stability and trunk control. We hypothesized that scapular exercises correct the scapular position and improve postural control. Hence the reaching out movement can be applied in a controlled and fluent manner at the end of the treatment.
