Primary study design	Interventional
Study design	Randomised controlled trial
Secondary study design	Randomised controlled trial
Scientific title
Study objectives	Does the application of Tubigrip on the symptomatic arm affect grip strength, dexterity and shoulder movement in patients with muscle patterning instability?
Ethics approval(s)	Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied	Musculoskeletal Diseases: Shoulder disorders
Intervention	Participants will have their grip strength assessed, and dexterity measured via the 9-hole peg test. They will then be randomised to receive treatment (Tubigrip) or nothing, and asked to rest for 30 minutes. Following a 30-min rest, they will be asked to repeat these tests in front of a second assessor, who is blinded to whether they have received the treatment or not. Both groups will be asked to keep a symptom diary for 14 days. Added 17/07/09: trial stopped due to lack of resources and change in objectives.
Intervention type	Other
Primary outcome measure(s)	Active range of shoulder movement, grip strength, dexterity, subjective improvement rating by patient.
