Scientific title | Treating patients with shoulder impingement: a single-blind effect study using a scapular stabilisation protocol |
Study objectives | Is a scapular stabilisation programme more effective than usual care in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome? |
Ethics approval(s) | Medical Ethics Committee of the UZ Brussel University Hospital, Brussels Free University (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), approved on the 15th October 2008 (ref: BUN B14320084388) |
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Shoulder impingement syndrome |
Intervention | Nine sessions (approximatly 30 minutes/session; three sessions/week) of usual care (ultrasound [US], transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation [TENS], stretching, massage) versus nine sessions of scapular motor control training (exercise therapy for scapular stability muscles). Total duartion of interventions: three weeks/patient. |
Intervention type | Other |
Primary outcome measure | The following will be assessed at baseline, after nine therapy sessions and after six months: 1. Pain: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Verbal Rating Scale (VRS), Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (SDQ), Hawkins Impingement Test, Neer Impingement Test, the Empty Can Test 2. Mobility: inclinometry 3. Strengh: hand-held dynamometer |
Secondary outcome measures | The following will be assessed at baseline, after nine therapy sessions and after six months: 1. Scapular Assistance Test 2. Scapular Reposition Test |
