Autogenic Inhibition Versus Reciprocal Inhibition Muscle Energy Techniques Effect on Swimming Performance on Swimmers With Scapular Dyskinesis

Study on techniques to help swimmers with shoulder issues.

  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

Swimming can sometimes lead to shoulder pain due to **scapular dyskinesis** (SD), which is when the shoulder blade doesn't move properly. This can happen because of an injury or a change in how your muscles work. Swimmers are at risk for this problem, even if they don't feel pain right away. It's important to treat SD early to avoid future injuries. This study will test two techniques, called **autogenic** and **reciprocal inhibition muscle energy techniques**, to help the muscles that move the shoulder blade. These techniques might help swimmers improve their performance and avoid injuries.

  • This study involves 12 sessions over 3 weeks, with each session lasting 8-14 minutes.
  • Participants need to be swimmers who train at least four times a week and have SD but no current shoulder pain or injury.
  • Outcomes will be measured after the intervention period.

Swimmers with recent shoulder pain, surgery, or other sports involvement are not eligible. Freestyle swimmers with a positive SD test can join. If you are part of this study, it may help improve your swimming and reduce injury risks.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
