Scientific titleTreating patients with shoulder impingement: a single-blind effect study using a scapular stabilisation protocol
Study objectivesIs 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) studiedShoulder impingement syndrome
InterventionNine 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 typeOther

2. Mobility: inclinometry
3. Strengh: hand-held dynamometer
Secondary outcome measuresThe following will be assessed at baseline, after nine therapy sessions and after six months:
