No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is two-fold. Firstly to see if patients suffering Subacromial Pain Syndrome can improve blood flow in the supraspinatus muscle in their shoulder, and secondly to investigate how changes in this blood flow are related to pain experience and shoulder function.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Exercise: local high intensity interval exercise

The subjects in this arm will receive four high intensity (80% of peak work rate) four-minute interval exercises for the abduction movement in the plane of the scapula (m. supraspinatus), supervised three times per week. In addition they will perform the exercise program described for the control group.

OTHER

Exercise: best clinical practice

The control group will receive a best clinical practice home-exercise program, with regular follow-ups at the shoulder clinic every other week. The details are described in Granviken et al. (2015).
