Therapeutic Exercise Prescription for Overhead Athletes with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Systematic Review and CERT Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background: Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a prevalent condition among overhead athletes, often managed through therapeutic exercise interventions. However, the quality of reporting in exercise protocols significantly impacts their reproducibility and clinical implementation. The Consensus for Exercise Reporting Template (CERT) provides a standardized framework to assess the quality of exercise reporting in clinical research. Objectives: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the quality of exercise protocols used to treat SIS in overhead athletes by applying the CERT checklist. Additionally, the risk of bias was assessed to determine the methodological rigor of included studies. Methods: A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Six elec
