"Individuals in the Scapular Stabilization group received a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for 6 weeks, 3 days a week. The treatment of individuals in this group included scapular stabilization exercises in addition to conventional treatment. Scapular stabilization exercises were planned to be applied only on the days of the session. Each of the exercises was applied as 10 repetitions and 2 sets.~Conventional treatment included an exercise program consisting of Wand, Codman, finger ladder and rotator cuff strengthening exercises, in addition to 20 min HotPack, 20 min TENS and 5 min Ultrasound modalities."

"Physiotherapy and rehabilitation program was applied to the individuals in the PNF group for 6 weeks, 3 days a week, as in the Scapular Stabilization group.
