简要总结
The successful application of treatment protocols using motion-triggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) for treatment-resistant functional posterior shoulder instability was recently demonstrated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the concept of a motion-triggered NMES training protocol through objective clinical outcome parameters and its impact on external rotational (ER) shoulder strength and throwing velocity in healthy, elite-level handball players.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to evaluate the concept of a motion-triggered NMES training protocol through objective clinical outcome parameters and its impact on external rotational (ER) shoulder strength and throwing velocity in healthy, elite-level handball players. It is hypothesized that a 6-week motion-triggered NMES shoulder strengthening training protocol in elite-level handball players would lead to an increase in throwing velocity due to an improved motor ability and ER shoulder strength.
