New exercise device aims to boost shoulder stability and strength
NCT ID NCT07642310
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares an 8-week ShoulderSphere exercise program with conventional shoulder exercises in young adults aged 18 to 40 without shoulder pain. The goal is to see if ShoulderSphere better improves shoulder stability, strength, proprioception, and endurance. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups, and their shoulder function is measured before and after the program.
