Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Experimental group 1	Electro Therapy	23 subjects will Receive radial shockwave by ( Storz Medical /SN:BS.3517 ) for 3 sessions one session per week for four consecutive weeks and conventional physical therapy
Experimental group 2	Electro Therapy	23 subjects will receive Ultrasound phonophoresis using diclofenac Na+( voltaren) by ( Sonopuls 490 / SN : 36 602 ) for 12 session, 3 sessions per week and same conventional physical therapy
Control group	Electro Therapy	23 subjects will receive conventional physical therapy modalities in the for 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks in form of Stretching Exercise in form of exercise of posterior shoulder capsule, strengthening exercises all have been recommended as essential for any shoulder rehabilitation program. These exercise include shoulder flexion, scaption. ,Tens applied for 20 minutes per session using (Enraf Nonius (Endomed 482) SN : 36853 )

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in shoulder range of motion	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment	electro goniometer
change in pain intesity	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment , score from 0-10 ,0=no pain , 10= unbearable pain	VAS ( visual analog scale score)
change in the thickness of supraspinatus tendon	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment	Ultrasonography

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
measure weight in kg and height in cm	before starting the assessment	Weight and height scale for determining BMI
Function of the Upper Limb	before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment, it measure the disability/symptom section (11 items, scored 1-5)	Quick DASH Questionnaire score
