Brief Summary

Scapula retraction exercises are often recommended as a part of the exercise programs. The primary aim of this study is to investigate the initial effect of the scapula retraction exercises on acromiohumeral distance (AHD) at varying shoulder abduction angles and to compare asymptomatic subjects. The secondary aim of this study is to investigate the effect of scapula retraction exercises on AHD values and symptoms (pain and disability) in patients with SPS.

Conditions

Rotator Cuff Impingement Syndrome

Keywords

pain severity; functional status; acromiohumeral distance; shoulder pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Acromiohumeral Distance (AHD) measurement

  Acromiohumeral Distance will be recorded at 0°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° of shoulder abduction, and while they are doing scapular retraction with resistive elastic band at each shoulder position. All assessment will be recorded at baseline and at the end of the eight week rehabilitation sessions

  Acromiohumeral distance values will be recorded at baseline and 8-week follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• pain severity

  pain severity will be recorded at baseline and 8-week follow-up

• disability status

  PADI Score will be recorded at baseline and 8-week follow-up

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

exercise program consists of progressive scapula retraction exercises will be applied three times a week total 24 sessions. Home exercise program will also advised two times a day.

Other: Exercise Intervention

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group will not perform scapula retraction exercises. AHD values of the control group will be compared to intervention groups both retracted and non-retracted conditions.

Interventions

Exercise Intervention OTHER

Scapula retraction exercises at varying shoulder abduction angles will be applied

Intervention Group
