Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the kinetic chain approach on pain, functional disability and kinesiophobia in patient with rotator cuff tendinopathy. Randomized controlled trials done at National institute of rehabilitation and medicine. The sample size was 44. The subjects were divided in two groups, 22 subjects in Group A that received Conventional Treatment and 22 subjects in Group B that received Kinetic chain approach and conventional treatment. Study duration was of 6 months. Sampling technique applied was non probability connivance sampling technique. Patient with age between 40 to 65 years, Clinically diagnosed and Patients who meet the diagnostic criteria ≥ three positives in five shoulder impingement tests: Neer's sign, Hawkins and Kennedy test, Empty Can test, painful arc of abduction, and external rotation (ER) resistance test, Patients in acute (4 weeks) and sub-acute stage (4-6 weeks).Patients with positive scapular assistance test (SAT) and scapular retraction test (SRT). Were included. Tools used in the study are NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale). SPADI (Shoulder Pain and Disability) .Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia TSK-11. Data was be analyzed through SPSS -25

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale)

Time Frame: 6 weeks

NPRS (Numeric Pain Rating Scale) the NPRS is an 11-point ordinal system, used measure subject perceived level of pain .Assess pain intensity at baseline, 9 session and after 18 session

Secondary Outcomes

  • SPADI (Shoulder Pain and Disability Index)(6 weeks)
  • Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia TSK-11(6 weeks)
