Summary: This study investigated the effects of progressive scapula retraction exercises (SRE) and glenohumeral rotation exercises (GRE) in a scapula stabilization program for patients with subacromial pain syndrome (SPS). The results showed that utilizing SRE and GRE can effectively reduce symptoms and increase acromiohumeral distance (AHD) in patients with SPS. The findings suggest that this program not only improves patient's quality of life, but also has the potential to further increase AHD.

Summary: This study compared the effects of an exercise protocol with and without electromyographic biofeedback on pain, function, and movement in subjects with Subacromial Pain Syndrome. The results showed that adding biofeedback increased scapular upward rotation, but patients who only did exercises had a better response in reducing pain.

Summary: In patients with subacromial pain syndrome, guided exercises improved shoulder function compared to no treatment. However, adding joint mobilization can reduce pain in the short term compared to exercise alone or no treatment.

Summary: This study compared the effects of group-based exercise, individual exercise, and home exercise on patients with subacromial pain. The results showed that there were no significant differences in health benefits among the three regimens, but the home exercise intervention was associated with the lowest costs.

Summary: The study showed that supervised training had significant improvements on pain, function, and patient-perceived effect in adults with subacromial pain syndrome. It also indicated potential benefits of supervised training in terms of quality of life and return to work, although more patients reported mild, transient pain after training.

Summary: The study compared the effects of injury-focused specific exercises with more general non-specific exercises on pain in patients with chronic neck or shoulder pain. It found that non-specific exercises were more effective in acute pain relief, while specific exercises may be more beneficial in short-term and long-term effects.

Summary: This study investigated whether patients with subacromial pain syndrome (SPS) exhibit peripheral or central sensitization and whether the presence of subacromial pain and patient gender influence these sensitizations. The results showed that patients exhibited hypersensitivity only in the affected shoulder, indicating peripheral sensitization. Female patients showed both peripheral and central sensitization. Immediate pain reduction did not affect hypersensitivity in the short term.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the subacromial motion metrics in patients with and without subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) and its association with rotator cuff pathologies. The findings showed that shoulders with SIS had a decreased minimal vertical acromiohumeral distance (AHD) during dynamic examination, regardless of the presence of rotator cuff pathologies. The metrics associated with supraspinatus tendinopathy were an increased rotation angle and a decreased rotation radius. The study suggests that abnormal subacromial metrics can develop in patients with mild or no rotator cuff pathologies. More prospective cohort studies are needed to further explore the changes in subacromial motion metrics in populations at risk for painful or impinged shoulders.

Summary: This study compared the effects of posterior shoulder stretching exercises (PSSE) with rapid eccentric contraction, static PSSE, and no stretching on the treatment outcomes of patients with subacromial pain syndrome (SPS). The results showed that PSSE with rapid eccentric contraction was superior to no stretching or static PSSE in improving clinical and ultrasonographic outcomes. Both PSSE with rapid eccentric contraction and static PSSE were effective in improving shoulder mobility, pain, function and disability, strength, acromiohumeral distance (AHD), and supraspinatus tendon occupation ratio (STOR).

Summary: The study aimed to compare the effects of exercise training plus neuromuscular electrical stimulation with exercise training alone on shoulder function, pain, range of motion, and muscle strength in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. The results showed that the exercise training plus neuromuscular electrical stimulation group had better outcomes in pain reduction, range of motion, and muscle strength improvement, while there was no significant difference in shoulder function improvement compared to the exercise training group alone.

Summary: This study aimed to summarize the influence of running on lower limb cartilage morphology and composition, finding that running may cause an immediate reduction in knee cartilage volume and thickness, which is temporary. Despite conflicting evidence regarding pre-existing cartilage lesions, moderate evidence suggests that running does not lead to the formation of new lesions, and repeated running exposure does not significantly affect foot and ankle cartilage thickness or composition.

Summary: The study systematically reviewed patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) of musicians' musculoskeletal symptoms (MSS) and psychosocial factors, finding that scales such as MPIIQM, KMPAI, and PRQM show promise but require further validation. Most PROMs lack sufficient evidence of test-retest reliability and construct validity.

Summary: This study translated the Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) into Canadian French (PSEQ-F) and evaluated its validity, reliability, and responsiveness in a French-Canadian sample of patients with persistent rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP). The results showed that the PSEQ-F is a reliable, valid, and responsive questionnaire that can be used to assess pain self-efficacy in French-speaking individuals with RCRSP. Further studies should use a self-efficacy-specific Global Rating of Change scale to estimate its responsiveness more thoroughly.

Summary: This review synthesized the evidence on the effects of elastic kinesiology tape (KT) on proprioception in healthy and pathological shoulders. The results showed that KT had mixed effects on active joint position sense (AJPS) in healthy shoulders, improved AJPS and passive joint position sense (PJPS) in pathological shoulders, but had no effect on kinesthesia.

Summary: The aim of this paper is to review methods employed to reduce the contamination of single channel EMG signals. Specifically, we focus on methods which enable a full reconstruction of the EMG signal without loss of information. This includes subtraction methods used in the time domain, denoising methods performed after the signal decomposition and hybrid approaches that combine multiple methods.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effects of different types of shoes on the EMG activity of pelvic floor muscles and internal oblique muscles during running, as well as their correlation with participants' morphological characteristics. It found that minimalist shoes significantly decreased the activity of internal oblique muscles, but no significant differences were found for pelvic floor muscles when comparing traditional and minimalist shoes. Age showed a significant correlation with the EMG activity of both muscle groups. The long-term effects of minimalist footwear on EMG activity and its relationship to morphological characteristics need further investigation.
