Aim: To find out the prevalence of scapular dyskinesis among swimmers.
Background: Scapular dyskinesis is an alteration or deviation in the normal resting or active position of the scapula during shoulder movement. Visible alterations in scapular position and motion patterns have been observed in scapular dyskinesia and are believed to occur as a result of changes in activation of scapular stabilizing muscle. The proposed study will provide valuable insights into the prevalence of scapular dyskinesia among swimmers, helping to quantify the extent of this issue within the swimming community.
Methodology: To conduct this study subjects is taken according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Prior to starting this study the procedure is explained to the subjects and consent form is taken from subjects. Lateral scapular slide test was done. The data was recorded and analysed after the study.
Results: Out of 53 participants 71.11% male and 50% female had Scapular Dyskinesia while the other 28.89% male and 50% female participants were normal when Lateral Scapular Slide Test (LSST) was performed. 36 Participants out of 53 had Scapular Dyskinesia on the Dominant Side. Out of 53 Participants 25 males and 7 females Participants had Type I scapular Dyskinesia,8 males participants had Type II Scapular Dyskinesia and 1male and 1 female had Type III scapular Dyskinesia, and 11 male had Type IV scapular Dyskinesis.
Conclusion: The study concludes that the Prevalence of Scapular Dyskinesis was found in 71% in male and 50% in female of total participants. 36 Participants out of 53 had Scapular Dyskinesia on the Dominant Side. This study also concludes that Scapular Dyskinesia Type I was the most common type of Scapular Dyskinesia in Swimmers.
