简要总结
Musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, particularly in the upper limb and spine, are often linked to poor core stability and muscular imbalance. While progressive resistance training is a well-established approach to improve muscular strength, incorporating core stability exercises may provide additional benefits in terms of balance, posture, and neuromuscular control. However, limited studies have examined the combined effects of resistance and core stability training on upper limb strength, core endurance, pain reduction, and balance performance.

Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for Pain
时间窗: 12 Months
The Visual Analog Scale is a simple and validated tool widely used for the assessment of subjective pain intensity. It consists of a 10-centimeter horizontal line, with the endpoints defining the extremes of pain-'no pain' on the left end (0) and 'worst imaginable pain' on the right end . Participants mark a point on the line that corresponds to their perceived pain intensity. The distance in centimeters from the "no pain" end to the mark is measured to quantify pain. The VAS is sensitive to changes in pain and has high reliability and validity in both clinical and sports injury populations
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)
时间窗: 12 Months
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire used to assess pain and functional disability in individuals with shoulder pathology. It consists of 13 items divided into two subscales: pain (5 items) and disability (8 items), each rated on a scale from 0 (no pain/difficulty) to 10 (worst pain/inability). SPADI has demonstrated excellent validity, with strong correlations to other functional assessment tools, and reliability, with high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha 0.86-0.95) and test-retest reliability (ICC 0.89-0.93). Its responsiveness to clinical change makes it a valuable tool for both research and rehabilitation monitoring
