Comparative Effects of Conscious Abdominal Contraction and Closed Kinetic Chain Exercises on the Activation of Periscapular Muscles in Badminton Players With Subacromial Pain Syndrome
Subacromial pain syndrome is a general term used to describe pain which originates from the shoulder and can spread towards the neck or down the arm. It's the most common reason for shoulder pain. The aim of study was to compare the effects of conscious abdominal contraction and closed kinetic chain exercises on the activation of peri-scapular muscles in badminton players with sub-acromial pain syndrome.
A Randomized Clinical Trial was conducted at Sir Syed Sports Complex Sargodha, through convenience sampling technique on 52 patients which was allocated using random sampling through computerized generated number into Group A and Group B. Group A was treated with closed kinetic chain exercises. Group B was treated with abdominal contraction exercises for periscapular activation. These exercises were done in 3 sets with 10 repetitions. There was 3 sessions per week. Baseline measurement was taken on 1st day of evaluation and post treatment will be taken on 4th week. Data was analyzed during SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it was decided either parametric or non-parametric test was used within a group or between two groups.
