Eccentric or Concentric Contralateral Training in Rehabilitation After Shoulder Surgery With Elbow Immobilization

Standard care including rehabilitation sessions three times per week.

The training protocol involves 3 sessions per week, separated by 24-48 hours. Each session includes 4-6 sets of 10 repetitions of elbow flexion/extension exercises on the non-immobilized arm at 60-90% of 1-RM, depending on the week. Eccentric actions are performed with controlled contraction duration (4 seconds) using a metronome. Rest periods of 2 seconds between repetitions and 2 minutes between sets are provided.
