The subject of this study is to examine the effects of thoracic mobility exercises combined with scapular stabilization exercises on pain, range of motion, scapular alignment, postural alignment and quality of life in individuals with subacromial pain syndrome.
The scapula assumes a role that is attached to the axial skeleton by atmospheric pressure and axioscapular muscles, and prepares the ground for the formation of wide range of motion in the shoulder complex. The scapulothoracic movement formed by the movement of the scapula on the thorax is provided not only by the function of the scapular muscles but also by the optimization of the thoracic muscles and posture.
Therefore, changes in the biomechanics of the thoracic spine and scapula affect the function of the shoulder. Therefore, we predict that the possible contributions of scapular stabilization and thoracic mobility exercises to scapular alignment and alignment in thoracic posture will further improve shoulder-related complaints.
