Rigid Taping Versus Scapular Stabilizing Exercises in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

Summary

the current study tends to compare the effect of two different treatment techniques used in the rehabilitation of shoulder impingement syndrome. rigid tapping and scapular stabilizing exercises will be applied and the level of function and pain intensity will be measured before and after the intervention and at 3 months follow up. while both methods of treatment used previously, the comparison between their effects is not yet investigated and no data is available regarding the superiority of one over the other.

Conditions

• Impingement Syndrome of Ankle

Interventions

OTHER

rigid tapping

Taping techniques We will use rigid tape and apply it bilaterally. In the rigid tape application, a combination pack of zinc oxide tape and the protective tape will be used. The protective tape will be applied first with no tension. To apply the rigid tape, subjects will be instructed to place their thoracic spine in a neutral position, the rigid tape will be applied bilaterally from the first to the twelfth thoracic vertebra. Subjects will be asked to retract and depress the scapula. The rigid tape will be applied diagonally from the middle of the scapular spine to the twelfth thoracic vertebra; this technique will be applied bilaterally. The rigid tape will be applied 3 times per week and will be applied for 6 weeks.

OTHER

scapular stabilizing excercise

consisted of: 1. wall slides with squat, 2. wall push-ups plus ipsilateral leg extension, 3. lawnmower with diagonal squat, 4. resisted scapular retraction with contralateral leg squat and robbery with squat. 5. Robbery with squat 6. Resisted shoulder internal rotation with step 7. Resisted shoulder external rotation with step 8. Resisted full can with step All resisted exercises were performed with elastic bands with red color-coded resistance levels and progressed through green and blue bands The patient will perform 10 repetitions 3 sets to 15 repetitions 3 sets and 20 repetitions 3 sets weekly.

OTHER

therapeutic exercises

1. Pectoralis minor stretching 2. Posterior shoulder stretching 3. Levator scapula stretching 4. Latissimus dorsi stretching ( stretching exercises will be 5 repetitions each session - 3 times per week) 5. Resisted shoulder internal rotation 6. Resisted shoulder external rotation 7. Resisted full can (strengthening exercises will be 510 repetitions each session - 3 times per week) All resisted exercises were performed with elastic bands with red color-coded resistance levels and progressed through green and blue bands NOTE. All resisted exercises were progressed from starting 10 repetitions 3 sets to 15 repetitions 3 sets and 20 repetitions 3 sets weekly, supervising movement quality, presence of pain, and fatigue. If the subject achieves 20 repetitions 3 successfully, heavier resistance with resistance band color-coded loading prescribed from 10 repetitions 3 sets.
