Summary

Subacromial pain syndrome is a general term used to describe pain which originates from the shoulder and can spread towards the neck or down the arm. It's the most common reason for shoulder pain. The aim of study was to compare the effects of conscious abdominal contraction and closed kinetic chain exercises on the activation of peri-scapular muscles in badminton players with sub-acromial pain syndrome.

Conditions

  • Subacromial Impingement

Interventions

OTHER

Closed kinetic chain exercises

Group A was treated with closed kinetic chain exercises. Group A: Group A was treated with closed kinetic chain exercises. Closed kinetic chain exercises enhance the proprioception by coordinating the mechanical receptors as well as the strength of the external shoulder rotator muscles, reduce the pain and improve the shoulder. Closed kinetic chain exercises include: * Push up * Scapular push up * Scapular dip * Crab walk Common Treatment: Cryotherapy 10 minutes 2 times per day. Ultrasonography 1Mhz frequency, 0.4 watt/cm for 10 minutes. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) 10 minutes, modulation mode, frequency 280, wavelength 80. Cross arm stretching 5 times 30 sec hold. Shoulder isometric exercises 10 repetitions 3 sets for 3 times per week.

OTHER

Abdominal contraction exercises

Group B was treated with abdominal contraction exercises for periscapular activation that includes: Wall slide, knee pushup, external rotation kneeling, Full can and External rotation with elevation and isometric low row. Common Treatment: Cryotherapy 10 minutes 2 times per day. Ultrasonography 1Mhz frequency, 0.4 watt/cm for 10 minutes. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) 10 minutes, modulation mode, frequency 280,wavelength 80. Cross arm stretching 5 times 30 sec hold. Shoulder isometric exercises 10 repetitions 3 sets for 3 times per week.
