Clinical Trial Summary

studying the effect of ultrasound and kinesiotaping in shoulder impingement syndrome in reliefing pain and increase range of motion in subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome .

Description:

Shoulder pain is a common presenting complaint from patients of all ages in daily clinical practice, affecting approximately one-third of individuals during their lifetime. Such pain may lead to the impairment of shoulder joint function and to severe reduction in quality of life. Shoulder impingement syndrome.

Ultrasound (US) is a physical therapy agent that is frequently used as an adjunctive treatment for shoulder pain. US has thermal and biophysical ffects which provide analgesia increases nutrition and increases blood circulation.

Kinesio taping method (KT), has been widely used also for many musculoskeletal diseases including shoulder problems. Most of taping methods are aimed to provide a mechanical stimulus for proprioception or to decrease pain by lifting skin and subcutaneous tissues.

• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on pain intensity.

• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on shoulder ROM.

• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on shoulder function.

• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on hand strength.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Enrolling by invitation
• Enrollment: 45
• Est. completion date: October 10, 2023
• Est. primary completion date: September 1, 2023
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 20 Years to 50 Years

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria:

1. Patients with shoulder impingement syndrome from both genders their age will be ranged and divided into three groups from 20-50 years.

2. History of shoulder pain for one month.

3. Positive Neer's impingement test and Hawkin's kiennedy test.

4. Provocation of pain above 60 degrees of flexion and abduction.

Exclusion criteria:

1. History of Shoulder girdle fracture, dislocation and surgery

2. Diagnosed with frozen shoulder or rotator cuff tear

3. History of cervicobrachial pain

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Rotator Cuff Injuries
• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
• Syndrome

Intervention

Behavioral:
• scapular stabilization exercises
scapular stabilization exercises 3 times per week for 4 weeks.

Device:
• ultrasound
Ultrasound 3 times per week for 4 weeks.continuous US operated at a frequency of 1 MHz and at an intensity of 1.5 W/cm2 for 5 minutes

Other:
• Kinesio Tape
Kinesiotape 3 times per week for 4 weeks. We will apply taping to two muscles (deltoideus and supraspinatus). A "Y' tape was placed over the deltoid muscle using the muscle stimulation (KT strip arms were located by stretching slightly by 15%-25%) and mechanical correction techniques (KT strip arms were located with maximal stretching). Another "Y" tape was placed over the supraspinatus muscle using the muscle inhibition technique (the starting point of the tape was attached to the sub acromial-greater tubercle with submaximal (75%) stretching and without stretching on strip arms).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	severity of pain	Assessed By visual analogue scale (VAS) , The most simple VAS is a straight horizontal line of fixed length, usually 100 mm. The ends are defined as the extreme limits of the parameter to be measured (symptom, pain, health) orientated from the left (worst) to the right (best).	4 weeks
Primary	Range Of Motion	assessed By Digital Goniometer	4 weeks
Primary	Function	assessed by disability of arm and hand quick questionnaire (quick DASH).	4 weeks
Primary	Hand strength	assessed by hand dynamometer.	4 weeks
