Abstract: Health intervention in adapted sport has been a critical issue in order to decrease musculoskeletal injuries. In this regard, shoulder injuries are a common problem among wheelchair basketball players (WB). Research in adapted sport injuries is increasing all over the years; however, it is necessary to implement protocols to treat and prevent injuries in wheelchair sports. Shoulder home-based preventive program has demonstrated to be useful for maintaining shoulder health conditions of WB players throughout their sport training regimes when preparing for an international competition. This allows it to be useful complementary tool in combination with teams´ technical strategy.
