Shoulder stretch study: can a simple mobilization boost strength?
NCT ID NCT06910332
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a specific shoulder joint movement (mobilization) can immediately change muscle strength and body awareness (proprioception) in healthy young adults. 48 people aged 18-25 took part. One group received the real mobilization, while the other got a fake (sham) treatment. Researchers measured strength and position sense before and after to see if mobilization had an effect.
