Protocol summary

Study aim
To see the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilization with movement and corrective exercises and corrective exercises alone in scapular dyskinesia to evaluate level of disability of the affected limb after scapular winging.
Design
Pragmatic, parallel-group, single-blind, randomized clinical trial
Settings and conduct
The trial is conducted in Allied, District headquarters, and Aziz Fatima hospitals, Faisalabad. Subjects are chosen according to inclusion criteria. Subjects are blinded as they don't know their treatment protocol and group.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Both male and female; aged 30-50 years; Patients diagnosed with distal radius fracture; Patients treated with closed reduction and plaster cast immobilization; Patients having distal radius fracture at least six weeks ago, after removal of the cast; Patients with scapular dyskinesis measured using lateral scapular slide test; Side to side difference of more than 1.5 cm considered significant. Exclusion criteria: Patients having complications after removal of the cast (e.g., compartment syndrome, Complex regional pain syndrome 1, carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist drop, neural or vascular issues, etc.); Patient having any shoulder pathology before fracture and after removal of the cast (e.g., shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, impingement syndrome, shoulder instability, bursitis, fracture, etc.); Patient having any radiculopathy or radiculitis; Patients having any neck problem (e.g., neck muscles spasm, wry neck, torticollis, etc.); Patient having any spine deformity (e.g., kyphosis, scoliosis, etc.).
Intervention groups
Intervention group: Mulligan Mobilization with Movement for positional faults. Maintain the glide and 8-10 reps of arm elevation were performed in 1 set. Control group: corrective exercise.
Main outcome variables
Distance of scapula from the spine.
