Shoulder pain is the third common problem, after problems of spine. Abnormal scapular kinematics, so called scapular dyskinesis, is believed to be associated with shoulder pain. Studies showed that individuals with shoulder problems demonstrate less upward rotation, posterior tilt and external rotation during shoulder movement. The shortness of the pectoralis minor (PM) is one of the factors leading to scapular dyskinesis. Short pectoralis minor has been shown to prevent scapula from tilting posterior and rotating externally during shoulder motion. The decreased scapular posterior tilt and external rotation may decrease subacromial space and result in impingement. However, although many assessment methods have been used to assess PM tightness or shortness, no study has tested the validity of these testing methods. Moreover, although stretching exercises for PM have been shown to increase the PM length, previous studies found that PM stretching exercises did not restore scapular kinematics and did not further decrease pain and improve function. Shoulder pain and discomfort has also been reported during stretching. Therefore, rather than stretching exercise, other types of treatment that can specifically increase the PM length and restore scapular kinematics may be needed. Manual therapy could specifically increase the flexibility of PM, and scapular orientation exercises could improve scapular kinematics. These types of treatment may be better options. However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated whether manual therapy combined with scapular orientation exercises could improve scapular kinematics, pain and function. Therefore, the first part of this study is to investigate which tests for length or tightness of PM can predict the scapular dyskinesis. The second part of the study is to investigate the effects of manual therapy and scapular orientation training on PM length, scapular kinematics, pain, and function in subjects with shoulder pain. In the first part of the study, 67 healthy subjects will be recruited. In the second part, 62 patients with shoulder pain will be recruited and randomized into either a PM treatment group or a control group. While no treatment will be provided for the healthy subjects in the first part, subjects with shoulder pain in the second part will receive 12 sessions of treatment in 4-6weeks, with 30-40 minutes per session. Patients in the control group will receive general shoulder strengthening exercise, while patients in the PM treatment group will have additional manual therapy and scapular orientation exercise. The measures include tests of PM length, scapular kinematics in the first and second parts, and pain and shoulder disability were also additionally assessed in the second part.
The glenohumeral joint is an articulation between the glenoid of the scapula and the head of the humerus that is enclosed by a synovial capsule divided into three main components: anterior, posterior, and the axillary pouch. Symptoms of posterior capsule tightness are linked to altered shoulder biomechanics and impairments which includes glenohumeral internal rotation deficit, incomplete glenohumeral adduction, impaired inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) function, and increased risk of impingement symptoms. In the literature the two techniques available for stretching posterior capsule are pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and sleeper stretch. Pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is therapist administered and sleeper stretch is patient-administered. The work on the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is more specified and rational to mark the tightness in the posterior capsule.
Shoulder pain, which is the third most common cause of musculoskeletal pain, has different etiologies. Muscle, bone structures and connective tissue pathologies can cause shoulder pain. Impingement syndrome (IS), which can cover many terms such as rotator cuff disorders, tendinitis and tears, is one of the most common pathologies of shoulder pain.
This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Shoulder Pain due to chronic impingement syndrome in paraplegic Manual Wheelchair users after Spinal Cord Injury so that we can have best treatment option for patients with shoulder pain due to manual wheelchair usage. duration was of 6months,convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Spine welfare trust center, Nawaz Sharif social security Hospital were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with PNF exercises , Group B participants were given baseline treatment upto 6 weeks and 3 sessions per, post intervention assessment was done after 6 weeks, by self-generated questionnaire (WUSPI) wheel chair users shoulder pain index, (SRQ) Shoulder rating questionnaire and physical assessment by 2 special test was done, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.

Isolated and combined effectiveness of pragmatic protocols on shoulder range of motion had been investigated and found effective in healthy participants. To our knowledge, there was insufficient literature to support the comparison between pragmatic and traditional protocols in the treatment of shoulder pathologies.

Upper limb tendinopathies, especially the so called "shoulder impingement syndrome", is a common injury among the population. Its management usually involves active treatments, being the therapeutic progressive exercise the most important and effective modality. However, whether a certain criterion is more appropriate than another when progressing the exercise program remains unclear. We propose a new program based on progressive exercises serving as a standard approach for the management of shoulder impingement syndrome.
