简要总结
In recent years the management of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) included the thoracic spine as it was proved that it's highly correlated to pathologies in shoulder joint. SIS is proved to be associated with kyphotic posture. Also, It was proved that changing sitting posture affects the measured ROM of shoulder joint and this implicates the influence of changing thoracic position on shoulder mechanics. Explanations were made regarding the role of thoracic spine in affecting the shoulder joint through two ways. Firstly, through affecting the mechanics of scapular movements and secondly through altering the length tension relationship of shoulder musculature. This study would aim at studying the most effective thoracic mobilization in the treatment of SIS.

结局指标
主要结局
Active ROM of shoulder joint would be measured utilizing goniometric method
时间窗: 6 weeks
The patient will move the affected shoulder with the thumb pointing upwards through the full available active range of shoulder flexion, abduction and external rotation. The flexion angle will be formed by aligning the goniometer with the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, a vertical line in the coronal plane and the axis with the middle of the glenoid fossa. The abduction angle will be formed by aligning the goniometer with the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, a vertical line in the sagittal plane , and the axis in the middle of the posterior glenohumeral joint line. The external rotation angle will be formed by aligning the goniometer with the ulna styloid process, a horizontal line in the transverse plane , and the axis at the olecranon process of the ulna.
Pain will be assessed using visual analogue scale.
时间窗: 6 weeks
Scores are based on self-reported measures of symptoms that are recorded with a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between the two ends of the scale-"no pain" on the left end (0 cm) of the scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale (10 cm)
The Arabic version of the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH-Arabic)
时间窗: 6 weeks
The DASH-Arabic contains 30 items relating to the level of difficulty the patient faces while performing different activities using the arm, shoulder and hand; items assessing the severity of pain symptoms; and items assessing problems that affect social activities, work and sleep, and psychological impact. In the DASH-Arabic, each item has five response choices that range from 1, ''without any difficulty or no symptoms exist'' to 5, ''unable to engage in activity or very severe symptoms''. A minimum of 27 of the 30 items must be completed for the questionnaire to be regarded. The higher the score, the greater the disability.
Kyphotic angle utilizing photographic method
时间窗: 6 weeks
A lateral view image of the patient will be analyzed after fitting lateral earlobe markers. The patient will stand sideways against a calibration plane with shoulders and elbows at flexed 90 degrees while looking at a fixed point on the opposite wall. The shooting will be repeated 3 times with a camera placed 1.5 meters away from the calibration plane and at a one-meter height from the ground on a tripod. In the software, a line parallel to the calibration plane from the ear lobe would be considered the plumb line. The farthest point from the plumb line will be considered the apex of the kyphosis angle. Then, two lines at the top and bottom running parallel to the curvature of the back are considered the two lines of the angle. These lines intersected at the apex of each other. The angle of intersection of the lines was measured by Kinovea and decreased from 180°.
