Brief Summary
The distance between the acromion bone and the head of the humerus narrows in subacromial impingement syndrome. This narrowing leads to the compression of sensitive structures and results in pain and decreased functional performance.While taping and scapular stabilizing exercises are commonly used in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome, no comparisons were conducted previously between their effectiveness. This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Punjab Sports Board, Lahore.This study will include patients with age group ≥18 years; pain located on the anterolateral side of the shoulder for ≥3 months with positive clinical signs. Group A will receive Kinesiotaping protocol and Group B will receive Scapular Stabilization exercises protocol.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Participants with age between 18 to 55 years. Participants with pain on the anterolateral side of the shoulder for ≥3 months. Participants diagnosed with ≥3 positive clinical signs of SIS, such as the Neer or Hawkins-Kennedy test, a painful arc by a sports physical therapist. Mild or Moderate pain on resisted external rotation, or the Empty Can test. Exclusion Criteria: Diagnosis of cervical radiculopathy. Participants with osteoarthritis in the acromioclavicular or glenohumeral joint. Calcific tendinitis, adhesive capsulitis, glenohumeral instability or a partial or full-thickness rotator cuff tear, clinical history of acute trauma, previous surgery or previous fracture in the affected shoulder. Corticosteroid injection into the shoulder joint in the previous 12 months.
