The effects of shoulder stabilization exercises on muscle strength, proprioceptive sensory ability and performance in office workers with shoulder protraction

Objectives. Shoulder protraction is frequently seen in office workers because of working with excessive trunk flexion for a long time. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of stabilization exercises (SE) given in addition to office exercises (OE). Methods. Sixty office workers with shoulder protraction were divided into SE + OE (n = 30) and OE (n = 30) groups by stratified random sampling for 8 weeks and followed up for 4 weeks. Shoulder protraction was assessed with a caliper, muscle strength with a hand-held dynamometer, proprioception with an isokinetic dynamometer, vibration sense with a vibrometer and upper extremity functional performance with the closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test. Results. There were significant improvements in all parameters in the OE + SE group, while increases in the strength of the upper trapezius, pectoralis major and infraspinatus muscles and in upper extremity functional performance were also found in the OE group (p < 0.05). During detraining, shoulder protraction, muscle strength, proprioception and upper extremity performance showed longer-term improvement with SE + OE (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The results obtained with the exercises demonstrate the importance of SE + OE in terms of maintaining proper posture and improving shoulder proprioception, muscle strength and functional performance.

Effects of Telerehabilitation Combining Diaphragmatic Breathing Re-Education and Shoulder Stabilization Exercises on Neck Pain, Posture, and Function in Young Adult Men with Upper Crossed Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Forward head posture and rounded shoulder posture are common postural variants found in upper crossed syndrome, which can lead to limited neck mobility, respiratory problems, and other issues. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of telerehabilitation, combining diaphragmatic breathing re-education and shoulder stabilization exercises, on young men with upper crossed syndrome during the COVID-19 pandemic over 4 weeks. Methods: The study included 37 participants aged in their 20s and 30s who were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group received diaphragmatic breathing re-education and shoulder stabilization exercises, while the control group only underwent shoulder stabilization exercises. Both groups were trained three times a week for four weeks using telerehabilitation. The comparison of within-group pre-post differences in the experimental and control groups was conducted using a paired t-test, while the effects of treatment were assessed using repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results: After 4 weeks, both groups showed significant improvements in the pain pressure threshold of the upper trapezius, craniovertebral angle, round shoulder posture, shoulder tilt degree, neck disability index, and closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test (all p < 0.05). The results showed a significant difference between the Time effect (p adj < 0.05/4) for both sides of PPT, CVA, and STD and both sides of RSP, NDI, and CKCUEST, and an interaction between the Time × Group effects (p adj < 0.05/4) for the Rt. PPT, CVA, and STD. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the telerehabilitation training group, which included diaphragmatic breathing re-education and shoulder stabilization exercises, was more effective in improving Rt. PPT, CVA, and STD in males with UCS.

Effect of Adding Shoulder Stabilization Exercises to the Rehabilitation of Postoperative Hand Injuries in Young Adult Patients.

Hand injuries are common and could have an impact on all upper limb functions. Engaging shoulder muscle training during the rehabilitation protocol postoperatively could have a significant impact on regaining all upper limb function. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of adding shoulder stabilization exercise to hand rehabilitation postoperatively. Forty patients were randomly assigned to 2 equal groups. Group A received a standard physical therapy program plus shoulder exercise protocol and group B received only a standard physical therapy protocol for hand rehabilitation. Outcome measures were pain intensity; grip strength; Arabic modified Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) questionnaire; and range of motion (ROM). All outcome measures were assessed before and after treatment. Statistical analysis revealed that both groups, the experimental and control, showed significant improvement in all outcome measures, but experimental group A showed significant improvement than the control group B posttreatment for hand grip strength, ROM, and QuickDASH questioners (P < .001). Adding shoulder stabilizer muscle training to the hand rehabilitation protocol postoperatively has a significant impact on hand function outcomes.

In the future study, it is necessary to correct the gender influence considering the characteristics of gender.,In addition, although there is a limitation in that the exercise intervention period was applied in a short period of 8 weeks, the application of stabilization exercise during the 8 weeks reduced the pain of the fish and improved the range of motion of the joints.

The Recent Application of the OSTRC Boxing Injury Prevention Program among Boxers in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries

Due to the high probability of injuries seen from boxing, together with the lack of assessment data examining the degree of risk to athletes, this study searched for solutions that may provide updated information to reduce or prevent the risk of injuries in this sport. This study aims to collect updated information about major injury risks among boxers and devise appropriate means to modify or prevent these risks by investigating the implementation of Oslo Sports Trauma Research Center (OSTRC) evidence-based injury prevention exercises among boxers. A survey was published containing a maximum of 23 multiple-choice questions from boxing associations in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to 300 boxers in six GCC countries. A total of 261 boxers participated in the study, with core stability exercises being the most frequently implemented at a rate of 52.5%. There were no statistically significant differences between the GCC countries in terms of the average number of injury prevention exercises performed. Finally, all exercise programs were studied in terms of injury prevention, and shoulder stabilization exercises were the only ones where the implementation rates varied widely between the GCC countries. Effective injury prevention strategies must be implemented, an athlete injury form report must be submitted to facilitate this, and information must be collected about the mechanism of the injury.

Effectiveness of Cervical and Upper Shoulder Stabilization Exercises in Subjects With Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Associated with Neck Pain

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an immunological mediated, chronic inflammatory multisystem diseasewhich involves inflammation of the peripheral joint. Ra affects about 24.5 million people as of 2015 and theincidence rate is more dominated amongst female. Historically the involvement of the cervical spine in laterstages of rheumatoid arthritis isn’t uncommon. Specifically, C1 and C2 are involved as they are the onlyvertebrae without intervertebral disc and synovial lining and hence they are very susceptible to inflammationdue to autoimmune reaction. The alteration in the range of motion is quite significant at the cervical spine.The biomechanics of the cervical spine and shoulder joint are interlinked with each other. The protocol ofspecific cervical and upper shoulder stabilization exercises with electrical modalities like hot-moist packand transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and short wave diathermy therapy was conducted to findout the effectiveness of scheduled, designed physiotherapy protocol of specific stabilization exercises alongwith electrotherapy for cervical spine and upper shoulder stabilization exercises to see the improvement incervical and shoulder range of motion and pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritisMethodology: An observational study was conducted in 25 patients at Karad with a study duration of 6months. The inclusion criteria were the patient with rheumatoid arthritis any age and gender willingly toparticipate. The outcome measures were universal goniometer for assessing cervical and shoulder range ofmotion, the visual analogue scale for pain assessment.Conclusion: The study concluded that there was a significant reduction in the range of motion in both thecervical spine and shoulder joint. The visual analogue scale suggests there was significant pain present inthe shoulder joint and cervical spine. Post-treatment assessment suggests the improvement in the range ofmotion and pain that leads to improvement in the quality of life.

A Randomized Controlled Trial on Posture Improvement and Trunk Muscle Strength by Round Shoulder Posture Improvement Exercise

The aim of this article was to examine investigates the effects of posture-improving exercises on round shoulder posture (RSP) and back muscle strength. 35 college students participated in this study and were measured for both shoulder height and muscle strength. After pretest, participants were divided into shoulder stabilization exercise group (SSEG, n1=12), antagonist strength exercise group (ASEG, n2=12), and control group (CG, n3=11). SSEG and ASEG exercised with a trainer 3 times a week for 30 minutes during 4 weeks. After completion of intervention, there was a significant difference in both shoulders and trunk muscle strength is significant difference for SSEG, ASEG and CG. This study has found that strengthening exercise is more effective in RSP reduction. However, it is the opinion of the researchers that the 4 week exercise period was not long enough to achieve significant results for other measurements. Further comparative studies related to the effects of strength exercises on RSP reduction, lung capacity, and trunk muscle strength is necessary.

Effect of glenohumeral stabilization exercises combined with scapular stabilization on shoulder function in patients with shoulder pain: A randomized controlled experimenter-blinded study.

Shoulder stabilization exercises consisted of a glenohumeral stabilization and scapular stabilization. No studies have been assessed the superiority of shoulder stabilization until now. To compare the effect of a glenohumeral stabilization exercise (GSE) combined with a scapular stabilization exercise (SSE) on changes in shoulder function in patients with shoulder painMETHODS: Shoulder stability, scapular alignment, pain, muscle power, and range of motion (ROM) were measured before and after the intervention in both groups. Forty subjects with shoulder pain were randomly assigned to an experimental or control group. GSE in the experimental group (n= 20) resulted in significantly better shoulder stability (P= 0.020, from 9.00 ± 6.90 score to 14.25 ± 8.58) and pain intensity (P= 0.042, 7.40 ± 2.44 score to 4.60 ± 2.06) compared to SSE in the controls (n= 20). However, no significant effects were observed for scapular symmetric alignment including the angles of inferior scapular distance (P= 0.555) and inferior scapular height difference (P= 0.770), muscle power including shoulder flexion (P= 0.942) and shoulder abduction (P= 0.551), or ROM including shoulder flexion (P= 0.852) and shoulder abduction (P= 0.622). This study suggests that GSE positively affects shoulder stability and pain control in patients with shoulder pain, probably through a centralization effect on the shoulder mechanism.
