Effects of external stabilization on infraspinatus activity and shoulder external rotation strength during the wiper exercise in individuals with and without scapular dyskinesis
Key Points
This research aims to examine how external stabilization affects infraspinatus muscle activity and shoulder external rotation strength during the wiper exercise.
Evaluated individuals with and without scapular dyskinesis during the wiper exercise
Applied external stabilization through the FPT condition
Measured infraspinatus activity and shoulder external rotation strength
Improved infraspinatus activity was observed with external stabilization
Significant enhancement in shoulder external rotation strength was reported
Benefits were noted in both individuals with and without scapular dyskinesis
Abstract
The FPT condition during the wiper exercise is recommended as a targeted intervention to improve IsP activity and external rotation strength in individuals both with and without SD.
