The primary outcome was visual analog scale (VAS) intensity after the intervention.

Six trials were at low risk of bias and two studies had a high risk of bias due to allocation concealment and blinding. Acupuncture and SAcu were relatively more advantageous in terms of analgesic effects after intervention than SC, but there were no differences between them. In terms of overall effects in number of remissions and the SF-36, Acupuncture was found to be superior to other methods, and SAcu was better than SC.

This study utilized an inertial motion unit (IMU) and surface electromyography (sEMG) to identify kinematic and muscle activation patterns distinguishing injury-prone and non-prone players, emphasizing prehabilitation's role in preventing shoulder injuries and enhancing performance.MethodsMale padel players with ≥5 years of experience were assessed at the Rehabilitation Unit of the University Hospital \"Renato Dulbecco\" of Catanzaro, Italy, Participants were stratified into high-risk and low-risk groups based on prior shoulder tendinopathies. Surface electromyography (sEMG) and IMU were used to measure muscle activation and movement smoothness during flexion, abduction, and rotation movements.ResultsThe high-risk group exhibited increased mean jerk during abduction (<i>p</i> < 0.05), indicative of reduced movement smoothness. Muscle activation analysis showed significant overactivation of the biceps brachii and under-activation of the trapezius during shoulder movements. Infraspinatus activation was significantly lower during rotation in the high-risk group (<i>p</i> < 0.001). ROC analysis identified predictive cut-offs for injury risk: mean jerk >2.51, deltoid activation <46%, trapezius activation <30.6%, biceps brachii activation >13%, and infraspinatus activation >25.7%, with sensitivity and specificity exceeding 83% for most parameters.ConclusionsThis study highlights the utility of combining IMUs and sEMG for biomechanical and physiological evaluation in padel players.

Core endurance was assessed using Sorensen, trunk flexor endurance, and side bridge test. Shoulder muscle strength, upper extremity hand dexterity (Purdue Pegboard Test (PPT)), and reaction time were assessed. Spearman correlation analysis was used for statistical analysis.ResultsThe core endurance tests were found to be positively correlated with shoulder flexor and abductor muscles (p < 0.05). There were weak negative correlations between Sorensen and trunk flexor endurance tests and dominant hand reaction time (r = -0.230, p = 0.019; r = -0.253, p = 0.010). The Sorensen test was found to be associated with bilateral PPT and total scores (r = 0.257, p = 0.008; r = 0.251, p = 0.010).ConclusionsIncreased core endurance was associated with increased shoulder muscle strength, dexterity, and reaction speed. Assessing core endurance provides better insight into upper extremity function difficulties.
