Study Arms (2)

Control group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

This group will perform during 4 weeks: * placebo ultrasound during 5min ; * scapular squeezing in the sitting position (3x10repetitions); * upper trapezius stretching (in sitting position, 3x30s and 30s of rest).

Other: Placebo ultrasound; Other: Scapular squeezing; Other: Upper trapezius stretching

Experimental group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group will perform during 4 weeks: * posterior shoulder mobilizations during 5min (mobilizations during 30s and 30s of rest); * external rotators strengthening in sidelying positions with load (3x10repetitions); * posterior capsule stretching (sleeper stretch in sidelying position, 3x30s and 30s of rest).

Other: Posterior shoulder mobilizations; Other: External rotators strengthening; Other: Posterior Capsule Stretching

Interventions

Posterior shoulder mobilizations OTHER

A second investigator performed 5min of posterior capsule shoulder mobilization for the experimental group, 3times/week during 4 weeks.

Experimental group

External rotators strengthening OTHER

Individuals performed 3x10 repetitions of external rotators strengthening in sidelying position 3times/week during 4 weeks.

Experimental group

Placebo ultrasound OTHER

A second investigator performed 5min of placebo ultrassound for the control group, 3times/week during 4 weeks.

Control group

Scapular squeezing OTHER

Individuals performed 3x10 repetitions scapular squeezing exercise 3times/week during 4 weeks.

Control group

Upper trapezius stretching OTHER

Individuals performed 3x30s of upper trapezius stretching, 3times/week during 4 weeks.

Control group

Posterior Capsule Stretching OTHER

Individuals performed 3x30s of posterior capsule stretching, 3times/week during 4 weeks.

Experimental group

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 60 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• low flexion test (flexion + internal rotation) \> 7°, between arms;
• symptoms consistent to shoulder impingement and arm elevation close to 150° as determined by digital inclinometer. The diagnosis for SIS was made based on a clinical examination and self-reported history. To be classified as having shoulder impingement, subjects had to present with at least 3 of the following: positive Neer test, positive Hawkins test, positive Jobe test, pain with passive or isometric resisted shoulder lateral rotation, pain with active shoulder elevation, and pain in the anterolateral shoulder region.

You may not qualify if:

• were pregnant;
• had ligamentous laxity based on positive Sulcus test, Apprehension test or anterior drawer;
• had history of clavicle, scapula or humerus fracture;
• history of shoulder surgery or traumatic lesion; -had adhesive capsulitis or scoliosis; - had systemic illnesses;
• transpore tape allergy;
• body mass index \> 28kg/m2;
• physical therapy treatment in the last 6 months;
• bilateral symptoms;
• steroid injection in the last 6 weeks;
• drugs with muscle relaxant in the last 72 hours.
