This study tested two shoulder injury prevention programs in 137 teenage handball players (ages 13-19) from a Hungarian academy. Over 18 weeks, players did exercises from either a Swedish or Norwegian program. The study measured shoulder function, control, and injury rates. Both …

This study tests a device called RELAY that delivers both local anesthetic and mild electrical pulses to nerves after shoulder or foot surgery. The goal is to provide up to 28 days of pain relief, much longer than current options. About 50 adults undergoing specific surgeries wil…

This study looked at whether special exercise programs (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and Gyrotonic training) can help young athletes with shoulder pain and weakness. Ninety athletes aged 18 to 25 took part in a six-week supervised program. Researchers measured pain, should…

This study tested whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) before shoulder arthroscopy improves the surgeon's view and reduces bleeding. 121 adults with rotator cuff tears received either TXA or a placebo. The main goal was to see if TXA makes the surgery clearer and safer.

This study uses MRI scans to check how well the subscapular tendon—a key shoulder tendon—heals years after surgical repair. Researchers want to see if a new arthroscopic classification of tendon tears predicts better healing and less fatty buildup in the muscle. Adults who had th…

This study looks at whether water polo players have different shoulder flexibility, strength, and core stability compared to non-players. Researchers measure shoulder rotation, muscle tightness, and trunk endurance in both groups. The goal is to understand what might lead to shou…

This study looked at whether the menstrual cycle changes shoulder muscle strength in high-level female rugby players. Sixteen players from Montpellier Hérault Rugby had their shoulder strength measured twice during their cycle: once at the start (days 0-5) and once around ovulati…

This study created and tested a new questionnaire called the Shoulder Problems Assessment Scale (SPAS) for Turkish adults with shoulder pain or injuries. Researchers worked with 450 people to make sure the scale accurately measures shoulder-related limitations. The goal is to pro…
