The common mode of teaching method is blackboard teaching in primary schools in India which requires long hours of repeated, sustained overhead elevation of arm could cause functional limitations. Therefore this study evaluated the presence of scapular dyskinesia among this population. Methods: Case control study was carried on 102 participants (51 teachers and 51 non teachers). Scapular positioning was assessed bilaterally using modified lateral scapular slide test at various positions in all participants. Results: Scapular dyskinesia in primary school teachers was on average seen around 50.04. Intergroup comparison of mean distances of dominant of teachers and non teachers was found to be significant at all positions of modified scapular slide test except at 180 degrees of abduction. Conclusion: There exists presence of scapular dyskinesia among 50.04% primary school teachers. This warrants the need to address scapular dysfunction in primary school teachers.
