Summary

Aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) exercises and Shoulder Mobilization (SM) on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality, and muscle strength in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). Patients received 20 sessions (for 4 weeks) under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients were evaluated at baseline, at week two, at week four, and at week sixteen.

Conditions

  • Subacromial Impingement
  • Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional Physiotherapy

The conventional physiotherapy program consisted of electrotherapy and exercise approaches. The electrotherapy program consisted of infrared (for 15 minutes, from 70 cm distance), conventional Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) in an encircled region (for 20 minutes; with 4 electrodes, 100 Hz, 100 msec), and therapeutic Ultrasound (for 3 minutes; 1 megahertz (MHz), power: 1,5 W/cm²). A physiotherapist supervised exercise program was performed following the electrotherapy program. Elastic resistive exercises were added at the week three. While, the first set of wand exercises and elastic resistive exercises was performed under supervision, two sets of the showed exercises were given as the home exercise program.

OTHER

Shoulder Mobilization

In shoulder mobilization technique while the shoulder joint was placed in the traction, anterior, posterior, and inferior gliding and circumduction were applied to the humerus for 2-3 minutes. All mobilization applications were performed in painless range of motion (ROM) limits. The degree of traction and gliding were increased as the relaxing obtained in the tissues.

OTHER

Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation

In the Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) program participants received PNF exercises with contract-relax technique, in the patterns of "flexion-abduction-external rotation", "extension-adduction-internal rotation", "flexion-adduction-external rotation" and "extension-abduction-internal rotation" along with the verbal and manual facilitation of the physiotherapist.
