Sponsor's own description

Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders (HSD) is a recent diagnosis that covers joint hypermobility with one or more secondary symptomatic musculoskeletal manifestations. Current clinical management of this population with shoulder symptoms is a non-standardized combination of physiotherapy modalities including exercise prescription. There is evidence suggesting that progressive heavy resistance training increases muscle strength and tendon stiffness, which may be valuable for treatment of this population.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of progressive heavy shoulder resistance training (PHSRT) for adults with HSD and shoulder symptoms.
