Effects of ShoulderSphere Exercises in Young Adults
Sponsor: Gazi University
Summary
This study evaluated the effects of ShoulderSphere exercises on shoulder stability, muscle strength, proprioception, endurance, and functional performance in young adults. ShoulderSphere is an exercise device that provides dynamic and multi-directional resistance during shoulder movements. The study compared an 8-week ShoulderSphere-based exercise program with a conventional shoulder stabilization exercise program based on selected Thrower's Ten exercises. Young adults without current shoulder symptoms were included in the study. Participants were assigned to one of two exercise groups. Shoulder stability, functional upper-extremity performance, shoulder proprioception, and isokinetic muscle strength and endurance were assessed before and after the 8-week intervention. The aim of the study was to determine whether ShoulderSphere exercises produced different effects compared with conventional shoulder stabilization exercises in young adults.

Interventions
ShoulderSphere-Based Exercise Program
Participants performed an 8-week shoulder exercise program using the ShoulderSphere device. The program aimed to improve shoulder stability, proprioception, muscle strength, endurance, and functional upper-extremity performance through dynamic and multi-directional shoulder control exercises.
Conventional Shoulder Stabilization Exercise Program
Participants performed an 8-week conventional shoulder stabilization exercise program based on selected Thrower's Ten exercises. The program aimed to improve shoulder stability, proprioception, muscle strength, endurance, and functional upper-extremity performance.
