This presentation aims to redefine the paradigm of shoulder rehabilitation from a motor control perspective and explores practical strategies for implementing STC coordination training in clinical settings. Focusing on the reconstruction of neuromuscular coordination and dynamic stability as key mechanisms, it presents an intervention model that can be immediately applied in clinical practice.

Human movements are generally comprised of a series of joint actions generated by contractions of skeletal muscles involved. The mechanical features of skeletal muscles (e.g., force-length-velocity relationships) are often evaluated from the joint performance (e.g., torque-angle-angular velocity relationships), assuming one-to-one correspondence between them. In the present session I would like to exemplify some cases that show mismatches between joint actions and muscle mechanics, where the neural control plays an important role for the achievement of well-coordinated and powerful movements.
