The Claim
Real-time EMG biofeedback is associated with increased infraspinatus muscle activation during seated shoulder external rotation exercise in adults with round shoulder posture.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When people with rounded shoulders do a shoulder rotation exercise while getting real-time feedback from muscle activity sensors, their infraspinatus muscle works harder compared to doing the exercise without feedback.
See the scientific wording
Real-time EMG biofeedback is associated with increased infraspinatus muscle activation during seated shoulder external rotation exercise in adults with round shoulder posture, with statistical significance demonstrated in within-subjects comparison
What the research says
1 studyThe study directly tested whether real-time EMG biofeedback helps people with round shoulders activate their infraspinatus muscle better during shoulder exercises. It found that yes, the biofeedback did significantly increase infraspinatus activation compared to doing the exercise without feedback - exactly what the claim states.
