        abstract = {Background- Scapular dyskinesis is the term used to describe abnormalities in the scapula's typical posture and movement patterns when the arm and shoulder are moved. Changes in muscle activation or coordination and soft tissue tension have been identified as contributing factors to scapular dyskinesis. In particular, the coordination of key muscles—the upper trapezius, lower trapezius, and serratus anterior—is critical in orchestrating task-specific movements to regulate the position and movement of the scapula. Methodology- In the above study, ninety-seven male participants (age- 40.1 ±1.06) with neck pain were included. The scapular dyskinesis measurement and VAS (right and left side) were measured in three different position of hand 1. Hand on its rest position, 2. Hand on hip and 3. Hands in 90-degree abduction with internal rotation was taken. Vernier calliper was used to measure the scapular dyskinesis. Results- The result shows that there were 7% IT workers who were having scapular dyskinesis and 93% IT workers who were not having scapular dyskinesis. In three different hand position there was a significant different in scapular position and neck pain. Conclusion- There was a significant difference between all 3 positions i.e. Hands in rest, hands on hip and hands in 90degree abduction with internal rotation. The result showed that prevalence of scapular dyskinesis among IT workers was 7%. Scapular dyskinesis among IT workers was not much prevalent.},
