Summary

this study will be conducted to investigate instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization On Pain, Function And Proprioception In Patients With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Detailed description

Shoulder impingement is a clinical syndrome in which soft tissues become painfully entrapped in the area of the shoulder joint. Patients present with pain on elevating the arm or when lying on the affected side. Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint in orthopedic practice, and impingement syndrome is one of the more common underlying diagnoses. On the pathophysiological level, it can have various functional, degenerative, and mechanical causes. The impingement hypothesis assumes a pathophysiological mechanism in which different structures of the shoulder joint come into mechanical conflict. The decision to treat conservatively or surgically is generally made on the basis of the duration and severity of pain, the degree of functional disturbance, and the extent of structural damage. The goal of treatment is to restore pain-free and powerful movement of the shoulder joint.Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a popular treatment for myofascial restriction which is applied using specially designed instruments to provide a mobilizing effect to soft tissue (e.g., scar tissue and myofascial adhesion) to decrease pain and improve range of motion (ROM) and function. eighty patients will be allocated randomly into two equal groups; the experimental one will receive IASTM and the control will receive traditional therapy for eight weeks.

Conditions

• Shoulder Impingement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization	The subject will be treated with instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization, applied to the upper and lower fibers of Pectoral, Trapezius (upper, middle and lower), Rhomboids major , Rhomboids minor, Teres minor, Teres major, and Latissimus dorsi muscles. The IASTM technique was performed for 20 seconds parallel to the muscle fibers followed by 20 seconds perpendicular to the muscle fibers of each one of the selected muscle
OTHER	traditional therapy	the patients will receive Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) to manage the pain,Ultrasound , Exercise including (Range of motion exercises, stretching exercises, and strengthening exercises (Scapular stabilization exercises and rotator cuff strengthening exercises)
