Summary

This randomised controlled study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a neuromuscular training-based exercise program on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries and performance in overhead athletes with shoulder pain.

The main hypothesis is;

H0: There is no difference between the "Thrower's Ten" exercise program and the neuromuscular training-based exercise program applied to overhead athletes with shoulder pain, on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries, and performance.

H1: The effects of a neuromuscular training-based exercise program on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries and performance in overhead athletes with shoulder pain are superior to the effects of "Thrower's Ten" exercise program

Conditions

  • Pain, Shoulder
  • Sports Physical Therapy

Interventions

OTHER

Neuromuscular Training-based Exercise Program

Neuromuscular training has been accepted as an effective treatment modality to improve the neurophysiological states of the joints for coordinated work. In addition to shoulder strength, stabilization and kinetic chain exercises, this program includes internal and external focus (sound, touch, light, dual task, etc.), sport-specific exercises and plyometric exercises (speed, agility). All athletes with shoulder pain will include in the baseline evaluation at the beginning of the season and all parameters will be followed throughout the season for 8 weeks. All athletes in this group will participate in a total of 24 physiotherapy sessions, 3 days a week, for eight weeks.

OTHER

''Thrower's Ten'' Exercise Program

''Thrower's Ten'' Exercise Program includes 10 different shoulder strengthening and shoulder stabilization exercises in a diagonal pattern. "Advanced Thrower's Ten" exercises that include kinetic chain exercises (covering more than one joint) in addition to shoulder exercises planned to be used in the late stages of rehabilitation into the program, progression is considered after the 3rd week will be added. All athletes with shoulder pain will include in the baseline evaluation at the beginning of the season and all parameters will be followed throughout the season for 8 weeks. All athletes in this group will participate in a total of 24 physiotherapy sessions, 3 days a week, for eight weeks.
