Injuries and shoulder pain are common problems in handball, more often among female athletes. The impact on performance and participation shows the need to work on the risk factors to minimize the damage. It has been found an association between scapular dysfunction and pain in the shoulder. Currently there are many exercise programs, but few with electrotherapy implemented. The aim of the study is to assess the effect of a therapeutic physical exercise program for scapulo-humeral stabilitation with and without electrotherapy on scapular stability, glenohumeral internal rotation and external rotation strength.
