Read this today, good new article from @JSESMedia. We always talk about cross education for the knee. I do it w/ my Achilles reconstructions too. Seems doing it for shoulders isn't a bad idea either. https://t.co/uAyarzn6RR. https://t.co/dbxxc7FjnF

What people are saying
Discussions highlight that early cross-education improves muscle strength, with examples like one post mentioning its application in Achilles reconstructions and suggesting similar benefits for shoulders, indicating curiosity and relevance. The tone is factual and professional, with phrases like 'good new article' and 'seems doing it for shoulders isn't a bad idea,' which reveal a cautious optimism about the study’s implications.
Most discussions agree that the study shows cross-education can help improve muscle strength post-surgery but does not significantly enhance functional recovery.
Posts reflect moderate interest, especially among professionals who relate it to their own practice and different injuries.
Conversations involve some elaboration on the methodology and implications, showing a decent level of engagement.
The overall impact seems moderate; the study's findings are acknowledged but not viewed as revolutionary, mostly confirming existing knowledge.
Abstract in brief
- This study examined how cross-education (CE) training, which involves exercising the non-affected shoulder, can help improve rotator cuff muscle strength in patients after shoulder stabilization surgery.
- It found that patients who did CE showed greater internal and external rotator muscle strength at 6 months post-surgery, especially at higher speeds of testing, compared to those who only followed standard rehab.
- However, despite improvements in muscle strength, there was no significant difference between groups in functional tests of shoulder stability and overall shoulder function at 6 months.]
