Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the intensity of Isometric Contraction of shoulder external rotators, comparing the effect of a high-level IC (80% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) versus a low-level Isometric Contraction (20% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) on pain intensity, pain thresholds, and function in chronic pain shoulder patients.

Isometric exercise for shoulder external rotators

The intervention included the application of a series of isometric contraction for the external rotators shoulder muscles. The exercise protocol included two intensities; high-level isometric contraction (80% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) versus a low-level isometric contraction (20% maximal voluntary isometric contraction).
