Brief Summary

Purpose of the Study: to compare between the effect of kinesio taping technique versus virtual reality technique in rehabilitation of patients with chronic shoulder impingement syndrome.

Conditions

Impingement Syndrome, Shoulder

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Assessing the change in musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs

  Assessment by using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH). The DASH is a 30-item self-report questionnaire designed to assess musculoskeletal disorders of the upper limbs. Scoring the DASH 30-item disability/symptom section: 1\) Item responses range from 1 (e.g. no difficulty, not at all, not limited, none, strongly disagree) to 5 (e.g. unable, extremely, unable, strongly agree). Scoring the optional 2 4-item high performance sections: 1) Add values of each response, then divide by 4, subtract 1 and multiply by 25: \[((sum of values/4) - 1)\*25\]. 2) Optional modules should not be scored if items are missing. Arabic version of DASH questionnaire will be used, Which is reliable and valid to be used for evaluating upper extremity work related injuries.

  at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention

• Assessing the change in pain intensity

  Assessment by using visual analouge scale (VAS). It was used to assess the intensity of pain. Operationally a VAS is usually a horizontal line, l00 mm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end. The patient marks on the line the point that they feel represents their perception of their current state. The VAS score is determined by measuring in millimeters from the left hand end of the line to the point that the patient marks.

  at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention

• Assessing the change in shoulder range of motion

  Assessment by using Electro goniometer. It was used to measure shoulder ROM (flexion, abduction, internal rotation).

  at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention

• Assessing the change in muscle activity of Supraspinatus muscle

  Assessment by using Electromyogram (EMG). It was used to measure muscle activity of Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, anterior and middle deltoid.

Kinsiotaping

EXPERIMENTAL

patients who received kinesiotaping plus conventional treatment for chronic shoulder impingement syndrome.

Other: Kinsiotaping; Other: Conventional treatment

Virtual Reality training

EXPERIMENTAL

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

patients who received conventional treatment for chronic shoulder impingement syndrome only.

Other: Conventional treatment

Interventions

Kinsiotaping OTHER

Patients received the kinesiotaping over supraspinatus muscle and deltoid muscle, tape will be removed every three days and subjects will return back to the clinic to reapplication of tape again. Patients received the same therapeutic treatment 3 times/ week for four weeks. KT is air permeable and water resistant, allowing it to stay in place for three to five days.

Kinsiotaping

Motion-controlled VR games OTHER

Virtual Rehab utilizes the unique characteristics of Microsoft Kinects motion technology to track and capture the movements of the patients so that patients become immersed in a 3D environment where they interact with the game. Subjects will include in a supervised virtual reality exergaming program for shoulder movements for 4 weeks, 3 days per week and 10 minutes for session.

Virtual Reality training

Conventional treatment OTHER

patients received conventional treatment for chronic shoulder impingement syndrome only.
