Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to evaluate the correlation between shoulder impingement and cervical proprioception

Conditions

Shoulder Impingement

Keywords

shoulder impingement; neck proprioception; correlation; cervical proprioception

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• joint position error (cervical proprioception)

  neck proprioception by Joint Position Error (JPE) using LASER beam Point tool and it's conducted as patient sitting 90 cm away from the target map on the wall ad a light weight headband with laser pointer is placed on the patient head, the patient is asked to focus on the center of the map while eye open then the patient asked to close his eyes and move his head in one plane and back to the starting point as accurately as possible and indicate verbally that he back to the starting position before opening his eyes, he repeated for 6 times in each plane and the distance between the starting point and the ending point is measured and then converted to degrees the patient is diagnosed to has a proprioception deficit if the mean error of any direction in more than 4.5 degrees

  up to thirty minutes

• shoulder disablity

  The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The pain dimension consists of five questions regarding the severity of an individual's pain. Functional activities are assessed with eight questions designed to measure the degree of difficulty an individual has with various activities of daily living that require upper-extremity use.he pain scale is summed up to a total of 50 while the disability scale sums up to 80. The total SPADI score is expressed as a percentage. A score of 0 indicates best 100 indicates worst.

  up to thirty minutes

• pain intensity

  Pain will be assed with numerical analog scale (NPRS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 cm) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. 0 mean no pain and 10 mean maximum pain

  up to thirty minutes
