What the research says

Supports is higher

Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.

In plain English

Using a screen that shows muscle activity in real-time while doing a shoulder rotation exercise might help people with rounded shoulders move better and recover faster from injuries.

Real-time EMG visual feedback during shoulder external rotation exercise may potentially improve motor control and rehabilitation outcomes in individuals with round shoulder posture

What the research says

  1. Study: Effect of Real-Time EMG Biofeedback on Selective Activation of the Infraspinatus and Posterior Deltoid During Theraband Shoulder External Rotation Exercise in Individuals with Round Shoulder Posture

    The study showed that when people with round shoulder posture used real-time EMG visual feedback during their shoulder exercise, they got better at using the right muscle (infraspinatus) and less of the wrong muscle (posterior deltoid). This means the feedback helped improve their muscle control during rehabilitation.
