Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is a pathology resulting from mechanical repetitive compression and inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon, subacromial bursa and biceps tendon under the acromion and the coracoacromial ligament. It is the most common cause of shoulder pain, with an incidence of 44-65%. Restriction of the range of motion, along with the pain in the anterior region of the shoulder, is the main reason for disability and decreased quality of life in patients with SIS. Physical exercises to improve the range of motion, strengthening, and flexibility is the main part of treatment. The subacromial-subdeltoid bursa corticosteroid injection is shown to decrease pain during the exercise program and increase participation in the treatment. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a supervised exercise program and home-based exercise program after subacromial-subdeltoid bursa corticosteroid injection in patients with SIS.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of high intensity laser therapy (HILT) in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). This study aims to compare the effects of HILT alone and HILT and therapeutic exercise combination on shoulder pain, ROM, joint position sense (JPS), muscle strength and function.The investigators hypothesized that shoulder pain, ROM, JPS, muscle strength and functionality would improve with both treatments but that HILT combined with exercise would result in better outcomes than HILT alone.
Impingement Syndrome (IS) is the most common alteration of the shoulder's articular complex of diverse etiology. Forty to 50% of those affected seek medical attention due to the pain; in half of these cases, the pain persists a year after the first medical appointment. It represents a sizeable drain on healthcare resources and a loss of productivity. Initial treatment of IS is generally conservative and includes a wide range of procedures and educational protocols. If conservative treatment fails, arthroscopy may be recommended for decompression. The standard treatment (ST) applied in the Quintanar de la Orden Physiotherapy Unit (UFQO), located within the healthcare area of Toledo, Spain, is prescribed by a rehabilitation specialist. It consists of one or more of the following procedures: transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), ultrasound therapy, kinesiotherapy, and cryotherapy. Reflex Locomotion - or Vojta - Therapy, is a physiotherapeutic procedure that entails all the components of human locomotion. It consists of applying stimuli to certain areas of the body with the patient in various positions in order to produce a neurophysiological facilitation of both the central nervous system and the neuromuscular system, activating global and innate locomotive patterns or complexes, namely the Creeping Reflex and the Rolling Reflex. Both complexes provoke a certain coordination of striated muscle throughout the entire body. This enables a change from pathological patterns to alternative physiological patterns that are painless, efficient, and functional, by means of generating significant global effects, including the axial extension of the spine, correct positioning of the shoulder girdle, and activation of the abdominal musculature, all of which are altered by shoulder pathologies. Therefore, because of the high prevalence of IS and the lack of scientific studies on physiotherapeutic interventions on the shoulder, the investigators decided to conduct a clinical trial on the utility of Vojta Therapy in the treatment of IS. The investigators hoped to improve on the studies published to date, which vary greatly in methodological quality and use small sample sizes and heterogeneous populations. Moreover, no published studies have examined the use of Vojta Therapy in relation to shoulder pathologies in general, or to IS in particular.
This study compares the periodic effects of Accelerated rehabilitation protocol (ARP) and Mulligan mobilization with mowement method (MWM) in subacromial pain syndrome patients rehabilitation. Half of the participants will receive ARP, while the other half will receive MWM.
This study was planned to investigate the effects of Trigger Point-Dry Needling Therapy (TP-DNT) on night pain and Shoulder Internal Rotation (SIR) in individuals with Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SPS).
This study is to investigate whether combination of ultrasound-guided subdeltoidcorticosteroid injection and physiotherapy is more effective than either treatment alone in treatment of patients with chronic subacromial (or subdeltoid) bursitis (SAB).
Aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) exercises and Shoulder Mobilization (SM) on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality, and muscle strength in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). Patients received 20 sessions (for 4 weeks) under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients were evaluated at baseline, at week two, at week four, and at week sixteen.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) in addition to usual post-surgical shoulder physical therapy compared to a standard shoulder rehabilitation program in reducing medication use and pain in patients who have undergone shoulder surgery. Measurements of medication (opioid, NSAID, acetaminophen, etc.) use (daily number of pills consumed), pain rating, patient specific functional scale and global rating of change will be taken at 24, 72 hours, 7 days, 14 days and at six weeks post-surgery. It is hypothesized that the inclusion of Battlefield Acupuncture will result in a decrease in medication use and post-surgical pain when compared to rehabilitation alone. The population for this study is male and female DoD beneficiaries, ages 17-55 (17 if cadet) that are not participating in other shoulder research studies. The subjects in the experimental group will receive Battlefield Acupuncture in addition to their respective post-surgical shoulder rehabilitation protocol.
Abnormal reduction of the AHD has been considered as one of the possible mechanisms in the aetiology of subacromial pain syndrome. Maintenance of the AHD is crucial for prevention and rehabilitation of rotator cuff related disorders. The development of a rehabilitation treatment plan is based in part on the assessment of scapular motion and muscle deficits in patients with shoulder pain. Rehabilitation should be based on the identified impairments. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of utilizing scapula retraction exercises with or without glenohumeral rotational exercises at gradual shoulder elevation angles into a scapular stabilization program on functionality, pain and AHD in patients with SPS and compare with health population.
