Abstract

Chronic non-specific neck pain affects 30-50% of adults, causing significant disability and ranking fourth globally in terms of disabilities. Scapular dyskinesis, characterized by altered scapular movement and positioning, is a common contributor to this pain. Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques have shown promise in improving scapular function and alleviating chronic neck pain. Objectives: To assess the impact of scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques on scapular dyskinesis in individuals with chronic neck pain. Methods: In this clinical trial, 42 participants diagnosed with scapular dyskinesis along chronic neck pain are been selected which are divided into two different group. The experimental group will undergo proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation technique like thymic stabilization and slow reversal and stretching exercises of neck muscles on the other side the control group will receive hot fomentation, stretching’s of neck muscles for 4 weeks. Results: Data will be entered in MS Excel for the purpose of master chart and pre and post findings will be compared and the result will be documented. Conclusion: The study shown how scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques are effective in rectification of scapular dyskinesis in pain the chronic neck.
