Exclusion Criteria

individuals that perform high-intensity sports with high shoulder demand; impaired long head of biceps; adhesive capsulitis; history of glenohumeral luxation or subluxation; history of clavicle, scapula, or humerus fracture; history of rotator cuff surgical intervention; signs of partial or complete rupture of rotator cuff; acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis; neurologic or rheumatologic dysfunctions; corticoid application at least three months before the baseline evaluation; body mass index>28 kg/m2 since it may compromise quality of electromyography data; and individuals under treatment with fluoroquinolone antibiotics or diabetes because both may affect tendon metabolism.
