Summary

The porpusose of this study is to evaluate the repercussions of a motor control exercise protocol in patients with subacromial pain syndrome without indication of surgical repair.

Detailed description

Methods: This is a randomized controlled trial which will be composed of volunteers of both genders, aged between 35 and 60 years. All volunteers will undergo pre-assessment (Av1): pain sensation, pain and function, shoulder range of motion, muscle strength, electromyographic activity and kinematics of the shoulder complex. After the initial evaluation, the volunteers will be randomly divided into two groups to carry out the intervention: exercises (GE - conventional exercises with elastic band) and motor control (GCM - motor control training). The intervention protocol will last eight weeks. After four weeks, the second assessment (AV2), similar to AV1, will be performed and the global change perception questionnaire will be added. At the end of the intervention protocol, the third evaluation (AV3), similar to AV2, will be performed. A follow-up will be performed after 4 weeks of the end of the intervention protocol, with the assessment being equal to AV3. The project will be submitted to the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte through the national interface "Plataforma Brasil". The study will also be registered on the international clinical trial platform, ClinicalTrials.gov. The study will only begin after approval of the ethics and research committee. All volunteers should read and sign the terms of free and informed consent.

Conditions

• Shoulder Pain

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	motor control training	The volunteers of the motor control group will initiate the exercises on a stable and rigid basis. These will be progressed with adding an unstable base as the volunteer gains motor learning (between the fourth and fifth week of the protocol). For the motor control group, two sets of 10 repetitions will be performed keeping in isometry for ten seconds each repetition.
OTHER	The exercise group	the protocol of strengthening and will have five elastic bands with different resistances available (extra-light, light, moderate, strong and extra-strong) for elbow flexion exercises progression, medial rotation and lateral rotation of the shoulder and scapular retraction.
