ÖZET
Amaç: Omuz problemlerinde skapulanın rolü iyi bilinmektedir,
skapular diskinezi (SD) özellikle baş üstü aktiviteleri içeren sporlarda
değerlendirilmiştir. Ancak hiçbir çalışma baş önde postür (BÖP)
bozukluğu ile skapula arasındaki bağlantıyı değerlendirmemiştir. Çalışmamızda,
aksiyoskapular kas gruplarının etkilendiği 2 farklı postüral
anormallik arasında bir ilişki bulmayı amaçladık. Gereç ve
Yöntemler: Kraniovertebral açı ölçülerek BÖP tanısı alan 90 nonspesifik
kronik boyun hastası ve normal postürlü olarak değerlendirilen 90
nonspesifik kronik boyun hastası çalışmaya alındı. Her iki grupta da
SD varlığını araştırmak için “SD testi” uygulandı. Tüm hasta gruplarında
boyunla ilgili disabiliteyi değerlendirmek için Boyun Disabilite
İndeksi (BDİ) ve boyun ağrısını değerlendirmek için Görsel Analog
Skalası (GAS) kullanıldı. Bulgular: BÖP grubu (%9,44) normal postür
grubuna göre (%4,44) yaklaşık 2 kat daha fazla SD tanısı aldı. Toplam
25 (%13,8) hastaya nonspesifik kronik boyun ağrısı ile birlikte SD
tanısı kondu. BÖP grubunda en sık mediyal kenar tip SD görülmüşken,
kontrol grubunda en sık inferior açı tipi SD görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada,
normal gruba kıyasla BÖP grubunda SD için yüksek risk bulundu (göreceli
olasılıklar oranı 1,23, %95 güven aralığı, 0,87-1,61; p=0,003).
Çalışmada, BDİ ve GAS açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark
bulmadı (sırasıyla p=0,102, p=0,285). Sonuç: BÖP’lü kronik boyun
ağrılı hastalarda, SD prevalansı yüksektir. Nonspesifik kronik boyun
ağrısında, özellikle anormal postürde SD değerlendirilmelidir.

ABSTRACT
Objective: The role of scapula on the shoulder problems
is well-established and scapular dyskinesis (SD) has been evaluated especially
in sports involving overhead activities. However no study have
evaluated the connection between abnormal neck posture and scapula.
The study aimed to found an association between 2 different postural
abnormalities in which axioscapular muscles affected. Material and
Methods: According to the craniovertebral angle, 90 non specific
chronic neck patients with forward head posture (FHP) and 90 non specific
patients with chronic neck pain with normal posture conducted in
the study. SD test were performed to investigate the presence of SD on
both groups. Neck Disability Index (NDI) used to assess neck-related
disability and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) used to assess neck pain.
Results: In the FHP group, SD diagnosed (9.44%) nearly two times
more of normal posture group (4.44%). 25 (13.8%) patients were diagnosed
with SD with chronic neck pain totally. While the medial margin
type SD was most common in the FHP group, the inferior angle
type SD was most common in the control group. This study found high
risk for SD in FHP group compared to the normal group (odds ratio
1.23, 95% confidence interval, 0.87-1.61; p=0.003). The study found no
significant difference between groups compared to NDI and VAS
(p=0.102, p=0.285 respectively). Conclusion: There is a high
prevalance of SD in chronic neck pain patients with FHP. SD should be
evaluated in chronic neck pain, especially with abnormal posture.
Keywords: Forward head posture; neck pain; posture; scapular dyskinesis
