Effect of Rotator Cuff Exercises Combined with Electrically Stimulated Antagonist on Strength .
The effect of rotator cuff physical exercise combined with electrically stimulated antagonist on shoulder rotator cuff strength.
J Orthop Sci. 2022 Jan;27(1): 126-130.Twenty healthy men were randomized to receive 6 weeks of rotator cuff physical exercise using a hybrid training system employing neuromuscular electrical nerve stimulation to resist motion (n=10) or an elastic band (n=10). Outcomes of interest include isokinetic concentric external rotator muscle strength at angular velocities of 60deg/s and 180deg/s, and isokinetic eccentric external rotator muscle strength at an angular velocity of 80deg/s, measured upon completion of the intervention. Results revealed significantly greater increase in the concentric 180deg/s and eccentric 60deg/s outcomes in the hybrid training system group vs. the elastic band group.
