The aim of this study is to analyze whether an Augmented Reality based scapular stabilization exercise program is more effective than conventional programs in patients with chronic shoulder pain and Scapular Dyskinesis.

The subjects will perform scapular repositioning exercise using glasses of augmented reality to see their scapular movement simultaneously. Furthermore, they will also see at the same time a video record of an "ideal" scapular movement, and will me encouraged to simulate that "ideal" scapular movement.
Subjects will perform scapular repositioning exercises for improving scapular movement.

Change in pain intensity
Pain intensity measured with a visual analogue scale which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Time frame: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in shoulder disability
Shoulder disability measured with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), which ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum degree of disability).
Time frame: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in arm disability
Arm disability measured with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick-DASH), which ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum degree of disability).
Time frame: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in kinesiophobia
Kinesiophobia measured with Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), which ranges from 0 (no kinesiophobia) to 100 (maximum degree of kinesiophobia)
Time frame: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in catastrophism
Pain catastrophism measured with Pain Catastrophism Scale (PCS), which ranges from 0 (no catastrophism) to 100 (severe catastrophism).
Time frame: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months

Change in shoulder range of motion
Shoulder range of motion in abduction, flexion, internal and external rotation, measured with a goniometer
Time frame: Baseline, 1-month, 2-months, 3-months, and 6-months
Change in surface electromiography
Electromiographic activity of serratus anterior, upper trapezius, lower trapezius, and deltoid medimum muscles. Percent of electromiographic activity as a function of maximum voluntary isometric contraction, as well as latency of muscle activation during scaption will be recorded.
Time frame: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
