简要总结
The aim of this study is to investigate the comparative effects of high velocity low amplitude thrust manipulation of upper thoracic spine and spinal mobilization with arm movement on the subjects with the subacromial impingement syndrome.
详细描述
Subacromial impingement is the condition, in which the tissue underlying subacromial spaces are compressed between the head of the humerus and the acromion, is one ofthe main diagnoses of shoulder pain. Subjects frequently experience pain when engaging in anyoverhead activity.In general, medical practice, pain in the glenohumeral region is commonmusculoskeletal problem has almost 48% prevalence. Cervicothoracic junction refers to atherapeutic technique or manual therapy approaches that focuses on improving mobility andfunction in this area where the cervical neck and upper back spine meet. Upper thoracic manipulation refers to a manual technique used to address dysfunctions or restrictions in the upper portion of the thoracic vertebral region, which is the area of the thoracic vertebrae located between the cervical and mid back regions.Previously, studies were conducted individually to determine effectiveness of upper thoracic mobilization and cervico-thoracic mobilization with arm movement for treatment of subacromial bursitis. However, fewer studies were previously conducted to compare the effects of both treatment methods (mobilization and manipulation). This study specifically focuses on the comparative effects of upper thoracic and cervico-thoracic mobilization.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
时间窗: 6 weeks
NPRS scale will be used to quantify pain intensity levels. The scale ranges from '0' for the least amount of pain "no pain" to '10' for the most extreme levels of pain "pain as severe as you can imagine". It is convenient to use NPRS for patients. Its score ranges between 0-10 (19). It is a valid and reliable tool (20). Reliability ranges from .67-.96 and validity ranges from 0.79-0.95
Shoulder pain and disability index SPADI
时间窗: 6 weeks
To quantify the degree to which patients affected with shoulder pain may have disability the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) was created. The SPADI's 13 components are split between a pain scale of five items and a disability scale of eight items. The numerical rating scale variant was created to facilitate its use and scoring (23). Reliability of SPADI is 0.92 and validity is 0.79
imagej software
时间窗: 6 weeks
It can calculate area and pixel value statistics of user-defined selections. It can measure distances and angles. It can create density histograms and line profile plots. It supports standard image processing functions such as contrast manipulation, sharpening, smoothing, edge detection and median filtering.. It has been introduced as a reliable assessment tool.
