Summary

Subacromial impingement syndrome is a common musculoskeletal disorder. Therefore, to improve the shoulder biomechanics affected by the syndrome, an intervention group was compared with a control group. The exercise program applied to the intervention group is expected to improve the function of the shoulder complex.

Conditions

  • Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Humeral Head Depressor Exercises

The Intervention group underwent a progressive resistance exercise program to strengthen the humeral head depressors and peri-articular muscles, including the rotator cuff. Exercises were performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks, each session lasting approximately 1 hour

BEHAVIORAL

Standard physical therapy

Participants in this group received standard physical therapy and rehabilitation as usually applied in routine care. Exercises were performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks, each session lasting approximately 1 hour. Outcomes were measured at the same time points as the intervention group.
