Summary

The aim of our study is to investigate the effectiveness of Pulse Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMT) versus placebo on pain, quality of life, shoulder function and isokinetic assessment, and muscle strength in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.

Conditions

  • Shoulder Pain
  • Musculoskeletal Diseases
  • Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
  • Shoulder Injuries and Disorders

Interventions

DEVICE

Pulse electromagnetic field therapy

It was applied with an electromagnetic field device (ASA Pmt Quatro Pro, ASA Srl Via A.Volta 9-36057 Italia) at 50 Hz frequency, 85 Gauss (8.5 milliTesla) intensity and for 30 minutes. The treatment period was 5 days a week for 4 weeks, in total. It was applied as 20 sessions. Therapeutic Exercise As a therapeutic exercise program; active shoulder ROM, isometric and progressive strengthening exercises for shoulder girdle muscles, codman pendulum exercises will be performed. It was planned to implement a total of 20 sessions 5 days a week for 4 weeks, for approximately 30 minutes. Exercises will be performed by a trained (at least 5 years experienced) physiotherapist, three times a day, in 3 sets, 10 repetitions.

DEVICE

Sham pulse electromagnetic field therapy

Sham pulse electromagnetic field therapy was applied five sessions a week for four weeks, for a total of 20 sessions a day, using electromagnetic field device (ASA Pmt Quatro Pro, ASA Srl Via A.Volta 9-36057 Italy) without current flowing through the device. Therapeutic Exercise As a therapeutic exercise program; active shoulder ROM, isometric and progressive strengthening exercises for shoulder girdle muscles, codman pendulum exercises will be performed. It was planned to implement a total of 20 sessions 5 days a week for 4 weeks, for approximately 30 minutes. Exercises will be performed by a trained (at least 5 years experienced) physiotherapist, three times a day, in 3 sets, 10 repetitions.
