Sarah Bohunicky ; Sarah Bohunicky ; Zachariah J. Henderson ; Nathaniel Simon ; Mark Dacanay ; Trisha D. Scribbans |Introduction Shoulder pain increases excitation of the upper trapezius (UT) and reduces excitation in the lower trapezius (LT). Despite inconclusive evidence, kinesio-tape (KT) is often used to modify muscular excitation within the UT and/or LT [...]Article
Juliana Buch Rufo ; Milene Eloise Callegari Ferreira ; Brenda Lima Camargo ; Luciane Fernanda Rodrigues Martinho Fernandes |Background Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints of patients with musculoskeletal disorders in the shoulder and is usually caused by the Subacromial Impact Syndrome.

The main aim of this study was to compare muscle thickness and function of two matched he[...]Article
Muscles’ trigger points can induce scapular dyskinesia (SD) which interferes with overhead athletes' professional training. We aimed to evaluate effects of dry needling (DN) alone and plus manual therapy (MT) on pain and function of overhead ath[...]Article
Background Dry needling is one of the most common treatments for this condition. In this study the immediate and delayed effects of superficial dry needling (SDN) and deep dry needling (DDN) on upper trapezius muscle function and patients' pain [...]Article
Background: Dry needling (DN) is commonly used to inactivate myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). However, a daily report of pain reduction has not been determined. Objective: The aim was to evaluate the time of the greatest pain relief after p[...]Article
Objectives To investigate if there is a difference in muscle activity for overhead athletes before and after an intervention with correction of both core and scapula compared to no intervention and is there a difference between overhead athletes[...]Article
