Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Active Comparator: Excercise therapy group<br>The group that recived scapular muscle training exercises | Other: Scapular training exercises<br>* Scapular muscle strength by resistance<br>|
| Experimental: Suspension group<br>The group that recived scapular muscle training using suspension system | Device: Suspension system<br>* suspended from the handles of the straps by either their hands or feet while the non-suspended pair of extremities are in contact with the ground leading to muscle activation due to unstable base of support<br>* Other names: Sling therapy;|

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pain intensity | Pain intensity is measured by neumeric pain rating scale the lowest value is 0 means no pain and the highest value is 10 means the worst pain | 1week | 
| Function | Function is measured by neck disability index the total score is 50 as the score is higher the disability is higher | 1 week | 
| Scapular muscle strength | Scapular muscle strength is measured by hand held dynanometer | 1week | 
| Scapular position | Scapular position is measured by lateral scapular slide test | 1week |
