About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Fifty-eight subjects with SIS (more than three months).
  • Their age ranges from 20-45 years old
  • Level of pain (at least 2/10 on VAS)
  • Body mass index (BMI) between 18-25
  • Subjects must show positive results in at least two of the following tests: Neer's impingement test, Hawkins-Kennedy test, supraspinatus (empty can) test, apprehension and relocation test.

Exclusion criteria

The subjects will be excluded if they had:

  • Received physiotherapy at last 3 months.
  • Received corticosteroids injection in subacromial space at last 3 months.
  • Received anti-inflammatory medications.
  • Have a fracture or dislocation in shoulder, neck and thoracic regions.
  • Have an acute rotator cuff tear.
  • Have tumor or malignancy in shoulder region.
  • Have neurologic problems in shoulder, neck and thoracic regions.
  • Have cooperation difficulties due to cognitive disorders.

Treatment and study plan

Suspension system

Device

Participants will be tested by four exercises designed for impingement syndrome using the suspension system

Other names: Neurac system

Dumbbells

Device

Participants will be tested by four exercises designed for impingement syndrome using Dumbbells

Primary outcomes

  1. Improvement in active shoulder ROM

    Time frame: 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

  2. Improvement in functional performance

    Time frame: 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
