Short-term Effects of Thoracic Manipulation in Shoulder Impingement

NCT02083796 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 110

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The hypothesis of this study is that thoracic spine manipulation would reduce pain in subjects with SIS and cause changes in scapular kinematics and muscle activity in subjects with impingement symptoms and in asymptomatic subjects. With this study, the investigators want to answer if possible changes in scapular motion and muscle activity following a TSM depend on the symptoms or if it is generic to individuals without shoulder dysfunction and not specific to subjects with shoulder impingement.

Conditions

  • Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Shoulder impingement_TSM

A physiotherapist with 4 years of experience in manual therapy will administer the TSM targeting the middle thoracic spine of the subjects.

PROCEDURE

Asymptomatic_TSM

A physiotherapist with 4 years of experience in manual therapy administered the TSM targeting the middle thoracic spine of the subjects.

PROCEDURE

Shoulder impingement_sham

A physiotherapist with 4 years of experience in manual therapy administered the sham intervention targeting the middle thoracic spine of the subjects.

PROCEDURE

Asymptomatic_sham

A physiotherapist with 4 years of experience in manual therapy administered the sham intervention targeting the middle thoracic spine of the subjects.
