The key scapular muscle for scapular stability & mobility are the upper & lower trapezius & serratus anterior muscle. Materials & Methodology: The study design was cross sectional. Total 100 samples were selected by purposive sampling from different Bank at Sangli District. Subjects were assessed for scapular dyskinesis using Modified lateral scapular slide test (MLSST) with the help of vernier calliper. The measurement was performed bilaterally at 3 different positions (arms by the side, Hands on hips, 90⁰ glenohumeral abduction in scaption with maximal internal rotation and 1 kg load in their hands). Results: The results shows that there were 46 % desk job workers who were having scapular dyskinesis and 54 % desk job workers who were not having scapular dyskinesis.
