Summary

This study aims to investigate the relative effect of handgrip strengthening exercise in improving function, pain, strength, and active range of motion (AROM) of the shoulder among patients with primary sub-acromial impingement syndrome (SAIS).

Conditions

  • Impingement Syndrome, Shoulder

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Hand grip strengthening

Handgrip strengthening exercises will be added to the experimental group. This exercise is chosen based on literature review of EMG and biomechanical studies. Adjustable heavy grip hand gripper will be used as handgrip resistance at 10 repetitions maximum (RM). The exercise will be performed in standing position the patient's back will be rested in a wall, arm at 30º abduction, 60º abduction 90º abduction \& with 90º ER. In this positions, the patient will be performed 3 sets of 10 squeezes each at a 1-minute interval.

BEHAVIORAL

Conventional treatment

Ultrasound therapy will be used to treat both groups. Ultrasound will be applied; while the patient will be seated in an adjustable chair with back support, feet on the floor. The chair will be positioned beside a table. The patient's shoulder will be rested on the table beside the body and elbow will be flexed at 90°. A round-headed probe will be used that is put in direct contact with the patient's skin over the shoulder joint. Ultrasound gel will be used on all surfaces of the head in order to reduce friction and assist in the transmission of the ultrasonic waves.
