Clinical Trial Summary

Background: Mirror therapy is an adjuvant treatment option based on shoulder impingement Syndrome Objective:To investigate the effect of mirror theraphy on shoulder impingement Syndrome Methods: The study included 62 participants, including cases in the intervention group (IG) (± years) and 20 cases in the control group (CG) (years) who met the selection criteria. IG received mirror theraphy with regular physiotherapy while CG received only regular physiotherapy.

Intervention

• mirror therapy
The patients in IG will receive exercise program before mirror theraphy. The patient will continue to do the exercises in front of the mirror for the remaining 20 minutes of the exercise. While doing the exercise with the healthy side in front of the mirror, the patient will try to do the same movement with the shoulder diagnosed with impingement syndrome on the other side of the mirror. The patient will try to do the movement correctly with the reflection in the mirror.
• conventional physiotherapy
The conventional physiotherapy program included, wand exercises for shoulder abduction, flexion, hyperextension and internal and external rotation, Codman exercises and isometric and resistive exercises of the shoulder girdle. The exercise program is performed under the supervision of an experienced physiotherapist.
