Summary

the study about new mobilization technique used in shoulder impingement syndrome patient to increase the range of motion of elevation, decrease the pain, and increasing the function level, this technique is based on normal mechanics that occur inside the joint during certain movement.

Detailed description

The study is about a new technique of mobilization based on normal biomechanics that occurs during the movements of a joint. For example, shoulder abduction or elevation needs the scapula to move upward rotation with posterior tilt and external rotation. Moreover, needs glenohumeral (GH) joint glide inferior and posterior these movements occur normally to permit us to elevate our shoulder without any restriction and the full range of motion(ROM). so in the patients with shoulder problems and have difficulties reaching full ROM of elevation the investigators applied mobilization of scapula toward upward rotation with external rotation and posterior tilt and by using mobilization belt applied posterior and inferior glide to GH joint. However, mobilization techniques have a short-term effect to enhance this effect, the investigators adding a motor learning approach to achieve a long-term effect and prevent recurrent .the investigators applied this technique 3 times per week for 3 weeks.

Conditions

• Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	biomechanical scapular mobilization with movement and motor learning	the therapist applied posterior tilt and exteral rotation with upward rotation mobilization to scapula and therapist also warp bilt around GH joint to applied inferior and posterior glid then ask patient to elevate his arm. then we applied motor learning approach by asking patient to elevate his arm with maintaining of external rotation with posterior glid of scapula.
