简要总结
Introduction. In the block climbing, the fluidity with which the athlete climbs a certain route is fundamental. The speed with which the movements are executed and the number of grippers of upper limbs is related to sports performance. Shoulder injuries are very prevalent in this sport. The inhibition of the stabilizing musculature can alter joint positioning and its normal biomechanics.
Objective. To evaluate the efficacy of a program of stability exercises, scapulothoracic and glenohumeral, in the improvement of shoulder stability and sports performance, in boulder climbers.
Material and method. Forty randomized subjects will be recruit into two groups: experimental (scapulothoracic and glenohumeral stability exercises) and control (glenohumeral stabilization). The stability of the shoulder (Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test) and the sports performance (Climbing Test) will be evaluated. The intervention last 6 weeks, with two weekly sessions of 30 minutes each. Differences between evaluations will be analyzed with the t-sudent for related samples and the intra- and intersubject effect with the repeated measures ANOVA test.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental
The experimental group followed a program that included three scapulothoracic stabilization exercises and three for glenohumeral stability, while subjects in the control group only performed the glenohumeral stabilization exercises. Two weekly sessions were carried out over a period of 6 weeks, and each session lasted 30 minutes. The intervention was conducted before starting the training session, to avoid muscle fatigue.
干预措施: Scapulothoracic and glenohumeral stabilization exercises (Other)
Control
The control group followed a program of glenohumeral stabilization exercises,

结局指标
主要结局
Change from baseline stability of the shoulder after treatment and at 6 weeks
时间窗: Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit
The investigators used the Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability Test (CKCUEST). This scale evaluates the number of upper limb movements the subject is able to make during 15 seconds. A higher score represents better shoulder stability.
次要结局
- Change from baseline time need to complete a given climbing route and number of grips during climbing after treatment and at 6 weeks(Screening visit, within the first seven days after treatment and after one month follow-up visit)
