The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of global postural reeducation relative to segmental exercises in the treatment of scapular dyskinesis with cervicalgia.
Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of global postural reeducation relative to segmental exercises in the treatment of scapular dyskinesis with cervicalgia.
Methods: Participants with scapular dyskinesis and cervicalgia (n = 30) aged 18 to 65 years were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Global Postural Reeducation and Segmental Exercises(stretching and strengthening). Upper extremity was assessed using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire. Function of the neck was estimated using the Neck Disability Index (NDI). Pain severity was measured using a Visual Analogical Scale. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed using the Short Form (SF)-12. Assessments were conducted at baseline and after 10 weekly sessions (60 minutes each). Significance level was established at 5%.

Function of the upper extremity
The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire was used to measure function of the upper extremity, where 0 corresponded to "no disability" and 100 corresponded to "most severe disability".
Time frame: 10 weeks
Pain severity
The Visual Analogical Scale (VAS) was used to measure pain, where the left extremity corresponded to"no pain" and the right extremity, corresponded to"maximum pain".
Time frame: 10 weeks
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL)
The HRQoL was assessed using the Short Form (SF)-12, the abbreviated version of the SF-36, whose score ranges from 0 to 100, and higher scores reflect better quality of life.
Time frame: 10 weeks
Function of the neck
The Neck Disability Index (NDI) was used to measure fuction of the neck, whose score ranges from 0 to 50: disability (0-5); mild disability (5-14); moderate disability (15-24); severe disability (25-34) and totally disabled (35-50).
Time frame: 10 weeks
