Summary
This study tests a 4-week rhythm-based exercise program for video gamers who have scapular dyskinesis, a condition where the shoulder blade moves abnormally. 42 gamers aged 18-35 will do specific stabilization exercises on stable and unstable surfaces. The goal is to see if these exercises improve shoulder control, arm function, and range of motion.
