Brief Summary
Modification(s)
|
Scapular dyskinesis is common in overhead athletes and
contributes to shoulder dysfunction due to poor neuromuscular control and
repetitive stress. This study compared Proprioceptive Neuromuscular
Facilitation (PNF) and Scapular Stabilization Exercises (SSE) in 28 overhead
athletes aged 18–25. Participants were randomly assigned to 6 weeks of SSE or
PNF training. Both groups improved, but PNF produced significantly greater
gains in Functional Throwing Performance Index (p = 0.003), Seated Single Arm
Shot Put Test (p = 0.008), Lateral Scapular Slide Test (p < 0.001), and
Prone Medicine Ball Drop Test (p < 0.001). PNF was more effective than SSE
for enhancing shoulder function and throwing accuracy. |
