Study Overview
Brief Summary
Purposes of the study
To investigate the effect of adding High-Intensity Exercises to conventional physical therapy in patients with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Detailed Description
Patients will be randomized into either High-intensity shoulder exercise group or Conventional physical therapy group. Patients will receive the intervention for six weeks. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and post-intervention.
