Conditions: Subacromial Impingement Syndrome, Pain
Sex: All
Ages: 20 Years – 40 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 42
Sponsor: Cairo University
Location: The Outpatient Clinic of the Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University. Giza
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial study is to determine efficacy of adding cervical stabilization exercises (CSEs) to conventional physical therapy (PT) program on pain severity, shoulder function disability, kinesiophobia, shoulder range of motion (ROM), isometric muscle strength and upper limb (UL) functional activity in closed kinetic chain in patients with SIS. The main questions it aims to answer is:
What are the effects of adding cervical stabilization exercises to a conventional physical therapy program in the management of shoulder impingement syndrome? Researchers will compare two groups: one group will receive CSEs beside the conventional PT program to the another group will receive the conventional PT program.
