Simple exercises may ease shoulder blade winging
NCT ID NCT07344272
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a type of exercise called PNF can improve shoulder function and quality of life in people with scapular winging (where the shoulder blade sticks out). Researchers will measure muscle strength and endurance in 50 adults with this condition. The goal is to see if these exercises offer a non-surgical way to reduce symptoms.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Volunteering to participate in the study. * Presenting with bilateral scapular winging (Scapular winging will be evaluated by measuring the distance between the inferior angle of the scapula and the thoracic wall using a scapulometer; a distance of ≥2 cm is considered as winging). Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of long thoracic nerve palsy. * Having undergone shoulder surgery within the last 12 months or having an acute shoulder injury (e.g., rotator cuff tear, dislocation, labral pathology, etc.). * Presence of scapulothoracic bursitis, fractures, tumors, or structural deformities in the scapular/thoracic region. * Having received regular scapular or shoulder rehabilitation within the last 6 months.
