Brief Summary

Abnormal reduction of the AHD has been considered as one of the possible mechanisms in the aetiology of subacromial pain syndrome. Maintenance of the AHD is crucial for prevention and rehabilitation of rotator cuff related disorders. The development of a rehabilitation treatment plan is based in part on the assessment of scapular motion and muscle deficits in patients with shoulder pain. Rehabilitation should be based on the identified impairments. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of utilizing scapula retraction exercises with or without glenohumeral rotational exercises at gradual shoulder elevation angles into a scapular stabilization program on functionality, pain and AHD in patients with SPS and compare with health population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Functional Level

    Functional level will be assessed by using Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADİ). All assessment will be recorded at baseline, at the end of the 12-week treatment sessions and 6-month follow-up.

    ffrom baseline to twelve week after treatment sessions

Other Outcomes (3)

  • pain assessment

    from baseline to 6-month follow up

  • Acromiohumeral Distance Measurement

    from baseline to 6-month follow up

  • Patient Satisfaction

    at 12 week and 6-month follow ups

Study Arms (3)

scapula retraction exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

* Manual Therapy * Stretching Exercises * Exercise training focus on scapulothoracic muscles will be applied two times per week total 12 week After 12 week follow-up, patients will proceed to reduced exercise program until the 6-month follow-up.

Other: Scapula Retraction Exercise Group

Scapula Retraction +Glenohumeral Rotational Exercise Group

EXPERIMENTAL

* Manual Therapy * Stretching Exercises * Exercise training focus on scapulothoracic muscles * Exercise training focus on rotator cuff muscles will be applied two times per week total 12 week After 12 week follow-up, patients will proceed to reduced exercise program until the 6-month follow-up.

Other: Scapula Retraction +Glenohumeral Rotational Exercise Group

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Age-sex and hand-dominancy matched healthy controls will be included as a control group (CG) for acromiohumeral distance (AHD) normative data

Interventions

physiotherapy program consists of manual therapy, supervised stretching and scapulothoracic muscles strengthening exercises and home exercise programme including stretching and strengthening exercises will be applied two times a week total 24 sessions. After 24 sessions completed, patients will proceed to reduced exercise program until the 6-month follow-up.

Also known as: scapula stabilization exercises
