Many regularly performed spikes and serves lead to a shoulder girdle adaptation that could be sport-specific and result in traumatic events. The aim was to evaluate shoulder joints’ range of movements (ROM), peak isometric strength of arm muscles, submaximal force repetition error, and upper body dynamic stability in adolescent female volleyball players. Materials and methods. 15 qualified, 17.7 ± 2.1-year-old, female volleyball players participated. The shoulder active ROM of internal rotation (IR), external rotation (ER), flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, horizontal abduction (HABD), and horizontal adduction (HADD) were measured. The peak force and the ability to repeat the same submaximal force of IR, ER, and extension were determined. Dynamic stability was detected by the Y-upper-body dynamic balance test (Y-UBDST). Results. The ER ROM was increased but the IR and HADD ROMs were decreased on both shoulders . The extension and adduction ROMs were smaller in the dominant (D) shoulder (p < 0.05). The D arm’s IR, ER, and extension muscles developed greater peak forces (p < 0.05). ER/IR muscles’ peak forces ratio was 0.94 ± 0.18 in both shoulders. The ER and extension muscles submaximal force repetition error was smaller in the D arm (p < 0.05). The mean score of the normalized reaching distances in the Y-UBDST was symmetrical: 95 ± 6% in the D and 94 ± 7% in the non-dominant (ND) arm. The correlation between the rotators’ peak force and the Y-UBDBT was not significant. Conclusions. The shoulder girdle characteristics were optimal and adaptable for volleyball spike and serve movements in those adolescent qualified female volleyball players without pathological changes in pre-season.","PeriodicalId":517657,"journal":{"name":"Muscle Ligaments and Tendons Journal","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140401592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Frozen shoulder is one of the major complaints among mid-aged and elderly populations and its initial symptoms are common with the initial symptoms of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) of the subscapularis. Developing MTrPs of the subscapularis is prevalent and may aggravate frozen shoulder manifestations. Dry needling (DN), as a new approach, can deactivate these points. Therefore, the goal of this study is to investigate the impact of the subscapularis muscle DN on clinical symptom improvement in people with a frozen shoulder. Methods. This single-blinded (assessor) randomized controlled trial will randomly assign 40 participants into two groups: 1) conventional physical therapy (control) and 2) DN of the MTrP in the subscapularis muscle with conventional physical therapy (intervention). The outcome measures will be the range of motion of the glenohumeral joint, pain intensity, pain pressure threshold, and intensity of upper limb functional disability. Results. This study is the first study to determine if subscapularis DN has positive effects and will help to determine its effects on clinical symptoms improvement for people with a frozen shoulder. If deactivation of MTrPs in the subscapularis muscle via DN would have positive effects, it could be introduced as an adjunct treatment for these people. Conclusions. This study protocol is arranged to assess the impact of adding the DN technique to conventional physiotherapy in patients with a frozen shoulder. Study registration.
