Suspension System on Impingement Syndrome

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Impingement Syndrome
• Interventions: Device: Dumbbells; Device: Suspension system

• Registration Number: NCT05955820
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

To investigate the effect of shoulder exercise using a selected suspension system exercise program on pain, disability, functional performance and proprioception in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.

Detailed Description

Two groups were assigned to this study, the first one received four conventional exercises that designed for shoulder impingement syndrome, the second group received the same four conventional exercises plus four selected suspension system exercises.

The sessions were conducted three times per week fir four weeks.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: PARALLEL

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Conventional exercises for impingement syndrome	Dumbbells	Four exercises (prone extension, side-lying external rotation, side-lying forward flexion, prone horizontal abduction with external rotation) will be performed for three sets of 10 repetitions
Suspension system exercises for impingement syndrome	Suspension system	Four exercises (Kneeling shoulder extension, Supine/ standing / kneeling row, sitting press up, kneeling push up) will be performed for 3-6 sets of 10 repetitions

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Improvement in active shoulder ROM	Baseline	Proprioception will be tested by using inclinometer to determine patient's active shoulder range of motion for internal and external rotation, flexion, and extension
Improvement in functional performance	Baseline	Assessment of function using SPADI subscale which contains 13 items that assess two domains; a 5-item subscale that measures pain and 8-item subscale that measures disability. In addition, Several non-specific strength/power tests may assist in determining the level of functional performance of the patients
