Summary

The goal of this clinical trial study is to determine efficacy of adding cervical stabilization exercises (CSEs) to conventional physical therapy (PT) program on pain severity, shoulder function disability, kinesiophobia, shoulder range of motion (ROM), isometric muscle strength and upper limb (UL) functional activity in closed kinetic chain in patients with SIS. The main questions it aims to answer is:

What are the effects of adding cervical stabilization exercises to a conventional physical therapy program in the management of shoulder impingement syndrome? Researchers will compare two groups: one group will receive CSEs beside the conventional PT program to the another group will receive the conventional PT program.

Conditions

  • Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
  • Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Conventional Physical Therapy

* Rotator Cuff Strengthening Exercise: (Full Can Exercise, External Rotation Exercise, and Internal Rotation Exercise). * Scapular Stabilization Exercise: (Prone Extension Exercise, Prone Horizontal Abduction with External Rotation Exercise, Prone Elevation Exercise, and Serratus Anterior Supine Punch ). * Stretching Exercise: (Self-Sleeper Stretching for Posterior Capsule, Self-stretching for Pectoralis Minor, and Self-Stretching for Upper Trapezius:). Intervention period will last for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week. The duration of the session will be approximately forty minutes.

OTHER

Cervical Stabilization

* Rotator Cuff Strengthening Exercise: (Full Can Exercise, External Rotation Exercise, and Internal Rotation Exercise). * Scapular Stabilization Exercise: (Prone Extension Exercise, Prone Horizontal Abduction with External Rotation Exercise, Prone Elevation Exercise, and Serratus Anterior Supine Punch ). * Stretching Exercise: (Self-Sleeper Stretching for Posterior Capsule, Self-stretching for Pectoralis Minor, and Self-Stretching for Upper Trapezius:). * Cervical Stabilization Exercises: (Cranio-Cervical Flexion Exercise and Deep Cervical Extensors Exercise). Intervention will be performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks. The duration of the session will be approximately one hour (40 min of conventional PT program and 15-20 min of CSEs with the progression).
