Scapular Depression at Rest: Implications for Cervical Pain and Functional Outcomes

Egypt128 participantsStarted 2023-12-20

Plain-language summary

The purpose of this study is to explore whether depressed scapular alignment is associated with increased neck pain and decreased cervical functional capacity, and to investigate the correlation between the mean vertical scapular distance of both scapulae at rest, neck pain intensity, and cervical function.
