Clinical Trial Summary

Purpose of the Study: to compare between the effect of kinesio taping technique versus virtual reality technique in rehabilitation of patients with chronic shoulder impingement syndrome.


Clinical Trial Description

Rotator cuff disorders are considered to be among the most common causes of shoulder pain and disability encountered in both primary and secondary care, with subacromial impingement syndrome in particular being the most common disorder, resulting in functional loss and disability, of the shoulder. There is a lack of literature about virtual reality exergaming in subjects with orthopedic problems. To reduce UL impairment, new therapeutic approaches, such as constraint-induced movement therapy, robotic arm training, and virtual reality therapy (VRT), have been successfully employed over the last decade. Kinesio taping is the increasingly popular method for preventing and treating sports injuries. The tape helps to maintain the joint position, increases the proprioceptive awareness, and assists in removal of exudates thereby reducing pain and improves the muscle function. So as there is lag in literature regarding the best type of treatment for patients with chronic impingement syndrome so this study will be conducted to compare between kinesiotaping and virtual reality and to determine the best treatment for patients with chronic Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS). ;
