Overview

This comparative study evaluates scapular mobilization and MWMs in improving shoulder function in fast cricket bowlers, indicating potential treatment benefits.

Key Points

  • This study investigates the effectiveness of scapular mobilization versus mobilization with movements for treating scapular dyskinesia in fast cricket bowlers.
  • Recruited 25 fast cricket bowlers aged 18-35 with scapular dyskinesia.
  • Divided players into two groups: Group A received scapular mobilization, Group B received mobilization with movements.
  • Treatment lasted for 3 weeks, conducted on alternate days.
  • Outcome measures included the lateral scapular slide test and the disability of arm, shoulder and hand scale.
  • Compared outcomes using Fisher’s exact test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
  • Both interventions resulted in significant improvements in scapular function.
  • Mobilization with movements showed superior results to scapular mobilization.
  • MWM led to greater reductions in lateral scapular slide test and DASH scores postintervention.
