Summary

This study examines whether shoulder blade movement problems (scapular dyskinesia) are linked to an increased upper back curve (thoracic kyphosis) in adults with chronic nonspecific neck pain. Researchers will also see if these issues relate to shoulder disability. They will measure shoulder blade position, upper back curvature, and shoulder function in 150 participants aged 18 to 60.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Diagnostic tests: lateral scapular slide test, flexi curve ruler, and DASH questionnaire
What this could lead to
If a link is found, it could guide better rehabilitation strategies for people with chronic neck pain and shoulder issues.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all neck pain patients.
