Summary

This record describes a planned randomized parallel-group trial of a modified Watson-based shoulder exercise program in female handball players. An internal pilot phase was conducted first to evaluate feasibility and obtain preliminary estimates to inform the definitive trial.

Conditions

  • Scapular Dyskinesis
  • Handball Players
  • Female Athlete

Interventions

OTHER

Modified Watson-based scapular exercise program

An 8-week dominant-limb exercise program based on the Watson rehabilitation approach, incorporating scapular positioning correction, scapular-specific cueing, and progressive exercises performed with two elastic resistance bands.

OTHER

Active Comparator: Standard upper-limb exercise program

An 8-week dominant-limb standardized upper-limb exercise program performed with one elastic resistance band and without scapular positioning correction or scapular-specific cueing.
