Summary

Many patients experience an effect of steroid injection, however the effect is often short lasting and recurrence of symptoms is common. The short term effect of injection has been shown to be much better than exercise therapy; however over time the superior effect of injection compared to exercise does not last. Injection in combination with exercise therapy might be a more sufficient therapy than injection alone. The aim of this study is to investigate a combination of steroid injection and a 10 week exercise program. In addition, the study tests the validity of clinical impingement tests using ultrasound verified impingement as gold standard.
