Overview

Controlled trial shows scapular stabilisation training improves shoulder function and reduces pain in cricket players, suggesting it may be more effective than thoracic mobilisation with Kinesio taping.

Key Points

  • Scapular stabilisation training significantly improved shoulder function and reduced pain compared to thoracic mobilisation.
  • Both interventions resulted in notable improvements in scapular dyskinesis scores, but one group had superior outcomes.
  • This study employed a controlled trial design with cricket players, ensuring rigorous data collection and analysis methods.
  • Findings indicate that targeted scapular exercises might be more beneficial for overhead athletes to enhance performance.
