RADIATION

Laser

Laser used were GaAs (904 nm, 60 mW), in continuous emission. The participants received application of laser three times or week for eight weeks, on 9 shoulder points (3 Joules/point) per session.

OTHER

EXE

"Isotonic strengthening exercises were performed for the scapular pivot, scapula stabilizer, and humeral propellant muscle groups. Three sets of 15 repetitions of each isotonic strengthening exercise were performed. The isometric exercises were performed in ten sets of ten seconds each. Analytical stretching of each muscle group was performed at the beginning of the session for 30 seconds.~The participants performed the exercises three times a week for eight weeks."
