The Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

This study aims to investigate the effects of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on shoulder girdle function and quality of life in individuals with scapular winging.

Inclusion Criteria: * Volunteering to participate in the study. * Presenting with bilateral scapular winging (Scapular winging will be evaluated by measuring the distance between the inferior angle of the scapula and the thoracic wall using a scapulometer; a distance of ≥2 cm is considered as winging). Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of long thoracic nerve palsy. * Having undergone shoulder surgery within the last 12 months or having an acute shoulder injury (e.g., rotator cuff tear, dislocation, labral pathology, etc.). * Presence of scapulothoracic bursitis, fractures, tumors, or structural deformities in the scapular/thoracic region. * Having received regular scapular or shoulder rehabilitation within the last 6 months.
