Thoracic Manipulation Versus Myofascial Release in Patients With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Summary

aims: • To investigate the effect of adding thoracic manipulation vs myofascial release to scapular stabilization exercise on pain intensity.

* To investigate the effect of adding thoracic manipulation vs myofascial release to scapular stabilization exercise on pain pressure threshold.
* To investigate the effect of adding thoracic manipulation vs myofascial release to scapular stabilization exercise on shoulder proprioception.
* To investigate the effect of adding thoracic manipulation vs myofascial release to scapular stabilization exercise on shoulder range of motion(ROM).
* To investigate the effect of adding thoracic manipulation vs myofascial release to scapular stabilization exercise on disability of shoulder and hand questionnaire(DASH).

Conditions

• Impingement Shoulder

Interventions

OTHER

scapular stabilization exercises.

General Instructions: For all exercises, perform the retraction of the scapula, without performing the elevation of the shoulders, taking the lower angle of the scapula "back and down". The exercise intensity was described as repetitions, sets, and holding time. Commonly, 10-20 repetitions and three to five sets held for 3-10 seconds were performed.and the exercises will be: 1. towel slide 2. Scapular Clock: 3. Scapular Proprioceptive Neuromuscular facilitation: 4. Inferior Glide. 5. Scapular Orientation Exercise (SOE): 6. Protraction and retraction in front of a mirror:

OTHER

Thoracic manipulation.

• Thoracic Thrust Manipulation: The participants were in high sitting and in prone lying position. The therapist was standing next to the patient in a diagonal stance and also behind the patient during high sitting. Thoracic thrust manipulation demonstrated to manipulate specific thoracic segment mainly mid thoracic.

OTHER

Myofascial release.

The subject will be treated with IASTM.applied to the pectoral muscles and medial brachium with the subject in supine and the glenohumeral joint(GH). placed in 120 º abduction to place adequate tension on the selected tissues in the style of pectoral tightness test .The IASTM technique was performed for 20 seconds parallel to the muscle fibers followed by 20 seconds perpendicular to the muscle fibers with the instrument held at a 45 º angle to the skin.The same IASTM protocol of 20 seconds parallel to the muscle fibers and 20 seconds perpendicular to the muscle fibers was applied to the posterior cuff musculature of the GH joint with the subject in prone and arms in 90 º abduction and internal rotation draped over the side of the plinth . While in the same position, the technique was applied to the periscapular musculature including the, trapezoids, rhomboids, teres minor, teres major, and latissimus dorsi.
