Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the comparative effects of high velocity low amplitude thrust manipulation of upper thoracic spine and spinal mobilization with arm movement on the subjects with the subacromial impingement syndrome.


Clinical Trial Description

Subacromial impingement is the condition, in which the tissue underlying subacromial spaces are compressed between the head of the humerus and the acromion, is one ofthe main diagnoses of shoulder pain. Subjects frequently experience pain when engaging in anyoverhead activity.In general, medical practice, pain in the glenohumeral region is commonmusculoskeletal problem has almost 48% prevalence. Cervicothoracic junction refers to atherapeutic technique or manual therapy approaches that focuses on improving mobility andfunction in this area where the cervical neck and upper back spine meet. Upper thoracic manipulation refers to a manual technique used to address dysfunctions or restrictions in the upper portion of the thoracic vertebral region, which is the area of the thoracic vertebrae located between the cervical and mid back regions.Previously, studies were conducted individually to determine effectiveness of upper thoracic mobilization and cervico-thoracic mobilization with arm movement for treatment of subacromial bursitis. However, fewer studies were previously conducted to compare the effects of both treatment methods (mobilization and manipulation). This study specifically focuses on the comparative effects of upper thoracic and cervico-thoracic mobilization. ;
