Overview
Brief Summary
the study about new mobilization technique used in shoulder impingement syndrome patient to increase the range of motion of elevation, decrease the pain, and increasing the function level, this technique is based on normal mechanics that occur inside the joint during certain movement.
Detailed Description
The study is about a new technique of mobilization based on normal biomechanics that occurs during the movements of a joint. For example, shoulder abduction or elevation needs the scapula to move upward rotation with posterior tilt and external rotation. Moreover, needs glenohumeral (GH) joint glide inferior and posterior these movements occur normally to permit us to elevate our shoulder without any restriction and the full range of motion(ROM). so in the patients with shoulder problems and have difficulties reaching full ROM of elevation the investigators applied mobilization of scapula toward upward rotation with external rotation and posterior tilt and by using mobilization belt applied posterior and inferior glide to GH joint. However, mobilization techniques have a short-term effect to enhance this effect, the investigators adding a motor learning approach to achieve a long-term effect and prevent recurrent .the investigators applied this technique 3 times per week for 3 weeks.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual Analogue Scale
Time Frame: 3 weeks
1. Visual Analogue Scale: was used to evaluate the intensity of pain, which The pain VAS is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VVAS) line, usually, 10 centimetres in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme. For pain intensity, the scale is most commonly anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 10 centimetres).
Universal Goniometer
Time Frame: 3 weeks
Universal goniometer: was used to measure the available range of motion at a joint. where used to measure an available range of motion of abduction and flexion of the shoulder joint.
