Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to compare the elasticity of thoracolumbar fascia in patients with and without subacromial impingement syndrome.

30 patients diagnosed as subacromial impingement syndrome in physical medicine and rehabilitation department of Baskent University will be recruited as group 1. 30 healthy volunteers will be recruited as group 2. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with the aim of assessing pain severity, tape measurement for posterior capsule shortness; body lateral flexion, rotation and extensor movements and lumbar extensor shortness will be observed for correlation with thoracalumbal fascia flexibility. Lateral flexion, flexion, and extension movements will be measured using goniometry for trunk normal joint movements. The thoracolumbar fascia length test and Modify Schober test will be used for thoracolumbar fascia length.

Intervention

Diagnostic Test:
Visual Analogue Scale
intensity of pain perception patients feel
posterior capsule tightness
tape measurement for posterior capsule tightness with patients lying at side and horizontally adducting their shoulder.
shortness tests for lumbar movements
tape measurement for lumbar movements
range of motion tests for lumbar movements
range of motion measurements for lumbar flexion, extension and lateral flexion with goniometer.
The thoracolumbar fascia length test
patient sitting straight with shoulders at horizontal plane, both the arms are asked to rotated with primarily spinal rotation. the degree of rotation gives idea about the thoracolumbar fascia length
Modify Schober test
tape measurement of spinal flexion between designated regions

Primary thoracolumbar fascia length test thoracolumbar fascia length 1 week
Secondary Visual Analogue Scale measurement in cm with 0 pointing no pain and 10 pointing worst pain. patient marks the intensity of his/her pain in a 10 cm line and researcher measures the intensity of the pain with a tape. pain intensity 1 week
Secondary Goniometric measurement lumbar movements 1 week
Secondary Shortness measurement with tape measurement in cm. patient stretches the posterior capsule and the beginning and the end positions are measured with tape. posterior capsule shortness 1 week
Secondary lumbar extensor shortness test measurement in cm lumbar extensor shortness 1 week
