简要总结
Shoulder instability is common in recreational racket sports due to repetitive overhead movements and high joint stress. Reactive Shoulder Training (RST) focuses on improving neuromuscular control and dynamic stability through unpredictable movements and reflex-based exercises. Kinetic Chain Integration (KCI) emphasizes strengthening and coordinating the whole body—especially the core and lower limbs— to support shoulder function. While both methods are used in rehabilitation, limited research compares their effectiveness specifically in recreational athletes with shoulder instability. This study aims to explore which approach better improves stability and function in this population
