Abstract

Introduction: The scapula’s stability is dependent on the surrounding musculature, with several muscles that attach directly to the scapula. It has various bony structures. The scapula is the large triangular-shaped bone behind the thoracal region and an important link between the trunk and the shoulder complex with a key role for the upper limb kinematic chain. Scapular control is essential for effective shoulder movement, particularly during arm elevation. The scapula upwardly rotates, posteriorly tilts, and externally rotates, while the clavicle elevates, retracts, and posteriorly rolls. This coordinated movement involves the acromioclavicular and scapulothoracic joints and contributes to the scapulohumeral rhythm.

Method: Institutional ethical clearance was taken, 53 injury-free, male Truck drivers were recruited for this study. And a written consent form was taken from all the subjects. Lateral scapular slide test was done. The data was recorded and analysed after the study.

Results: Among total participants, Below age 30 are 24.53% and age 31 to 40 are 32.08% and age 41 to 50 age are 26.42% and above age 50 age are 16.98%. Mean age value is 38.62 and SD value is 9.01 in this project.

Conclusion: The study concludes that the Prevalence of Scapular Dyskinesis was found positive 77.36% and negative 22.64% of total participants. This study also concludes that Scapular Dyskinesis Type I was the most common type of Scapular Dyskinesis in Truck Drivers.
