Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Injuries and shoulder pain are common problems in handball, more often among female athletes. The impact on performance and participation shows the need to work on the risk factors to minimize the damage. It has been found an association between scapular dysfunction and pain in the shoulder. Currently there are many exercise programs, but few with electrotherapy implemented. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of a therapeutic physical exercise program for scapulo-humeral stabilitation with and without electrotherapy on scapular stability, glenohumeral internal rotation and external rotation strength.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Two groups. Experimental group realizes a therapeutic physical exercise program for scapulo-humeral stabilitation, and the other group (control group) the same program with electrostimulation. The programme consisted of a two-part sequence of isometric prone push-up, being it an optimal position for periscapular stability exercises.
