Summary

the aim of this study is to investigate the Effect of mulligan technique on sub-acromial space in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome

Detailed description

Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is defined as the mechanical entrapment of the rotator cuff (mainly the supraspinatus tendon) or the sub-acromial bursa in the sub-acromial space between the humeral head and the acromion or coracohumeral ligament .It is typically exacerbate when the arm is elevated or when overhead throwing activities are performed . Mulligan technique is a type of manual therapy with hypoalgesic effects, increases joint ROM, enhances muscle function and treats specific pathologies. Mobilization with movement (MWM) can be defined as the application of a sustained passive accessory force / glide to a joint while the patient actively performs a task that was previously identified as being problem.

Conditions

• Shoulder Impingement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	mulligan technique	The patient will be in sitting and the therapist stands on the contralateral side of pain, stabilizing the scapula posteriorly with one hand. The head of the humerus is translated posteriorly and laterally with the other hand, along the plane of the glenoid fossa. While the glide is sustained, the patient actively elevates their arm through the plane of abduction or scaption (elevation). Apply 6-10 repetitions in a set, with 3-5 sets in a treatment session the perform mobilization on acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joint
OTHER	conventional therapy	1. Flexibility exercises: enhance flexibility of the glenohumeral Posterior capsule, pectoralis muscle, and upper thoracic spine. 2. Strengthen the rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers. 3. Improve upper-quarter postural awareness
