Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to analyze whether an Augmented Reality based scapular stabilization exercise program is more effective than conventional programs in patients with chronic shoulder pain and Scapular Dyskinesis.

Study Groups

Agumented Reality combined with scapular exercises

Scapular exercises performed with glasses of augmented reality during sessions at clinic, and without glasses at home.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Augmented reality

Intervention Type OTHER

The subjects will perform scapular repositioning exercise using glasses of augmented reality to see their scapular movement simultaneously. Furthermore, they will also see at the same time a video record of an "ideal" scapular movement, and will me encouraged to simulate that "ideal" scapular movement.

Scapular repositioning exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will perform scapular repositioning exercises for improving scapular movement.

Scapular exercises

Scapular exercises performed all the time without glasses.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Scapular repositioning exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Subjects will perform scapular repositioning exercises for improving scapular movement.
