Effect of a Novel Training Program in Patients With Chronic Shoulder Pain Based on Implicit Motor Learning: Pilot and Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implicit motor learning has been shown to be effective for learning sports-related motor skills. It facilitates automaticity of movements and thereby improves performance in multitasking and high-pressure environments. Motor learning to develop motor skills and neuroplastic capacities is not sufficiently incorporated in musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Especially in patients with chronic pain conditions like shoulder pain this approach might benefit over traditional exercise programs.

Purpose/hypothesis

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility and clinical outcome of a new implicit motor learning exercise program in a group of patients with chronic shoulder pain.

Study design

Pilot and feasibility cohort study.

Methods

Twenty-six patie
