Results

The primary outcome, the shear modulus of the pectoralis minor, showed a significant decrease in the exercise group but no significant change in the non-exercise group. The secondary outcome, shoulder horizontal abduction range of motion, increased significantly in the exercise group, whereas no notable change was observed in the control group.

Baseline Characteristics

A total of 18 healthy adults participated in the study and were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 9) or the control group (n = 9). There were no significant between-group differences in age, sex, height, weight, baseline shoulder horizontal abduction angle, or baseline pectoralis minor shear modulus.

Participant flow

Eighteen individuals were screened and all met the eligibility criteria and were randomized. Nine participants were allocated to the intervention group and nine to the control group. All participants completed both pre- and post-intervention assessments, and no dropouts occurred.

Adverse events

No adverse events were observed during the study period.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome measure was the shear modulus of the pectoralis minor, assessed using shear wave elastography. The secondary outcome measure was the shoulder horizontal abduction range of motion, evaluated using a goniometer. Changes before and after the intervention were compared.
