Effects of grip strengthening combined with scapular stabilization exercise on shoulder muscle strength and functional outcomes in individuals with subacromial pain syndrome: A randomized controlled trial

Background

Subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS) is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain and is frequently associated with rotator cuff dysfunction. Recent evidence suggests a close relationship between hand grip strength and rotator cuff muscle function, indicating that grip-strengthening exercises may enhance shoulder rehabilitation outcomes. To investigate the effects of grip strengthening combined with scapular stabilization exercise on shoulder muscle strength, grip strength, and functional outcomes in individuals with SAPS.
