ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how two specific muscle techniques, called autogenic inhibition and reciprocal inhibition, can help improve swimming performance in swimmers who have a condition known as scapular dyskinesis. Scapular dyskinesis affects the movement of the shoulder blade, which is important for swimming efficiently and avoiding shoulder injuries. By understanding how these techniques work, researchers hope to find better ways to help swimmers train without pain and perform at their best.

To be eligible for this trial, swimmers should be training at least four times a week and must have a positive diagnosis of scapular dyskinesis, but they should not have any shoulder pain or recent shoulder injuries. The study is open to swimmers of all genders, and participants will be guided through the techniques being tested. If you or someone you know fits these criteria and is interested in improving shoulder movement and swimming performance, this trial could be a valuable opportunity.
