Summary

Subacromial pain syndrome is a general term used to describe pain which originates from the shoulder and can spread towards the neck or down the arm. It's the most common reason for shoulder pain. The aim of study was to compare the effects of conscious abdominal contraction and closed kinetic chain exercises on the activation of peri-scapular muscles in badminton players with sub-acromial pain syndrome.

Detailed description

A Randomized Clinical Trial was conducted at Sir Syed Sports Complex Sargodha, through convenience sampling technique on 52 patients which was allocated using random sampling through computerized generated number into Group A and Group B. Group A was treated with closed kinetic chain exercises. Group B was treated with abdominal contraction exercises for periscapular activation. These exercises were done in 3 sets with 10 repetitions. There was 3 sessions per week. Baseline measurement was taken on 1st day of evaluation and post treatment will be taken on 4th week. Data was analyzed during SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro-Wilk test, it was decided either parametric or non-parametric test was used within a group or between two groups.

Conditions

• Subacromial Impingement

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Closed kinetic chain exercises	Group A was treated with closed kinetic chain exercises. Group A: Group A was treated with closed kinetic chain exercises. Closed kinetic chain exercises enhance the proprioception by coordinating the mechanical receptors as well as the strength of the external shoulder rotator muscles, reduce the pain and improve the shoulder. Closed kinetic chain exercises include: * Push up * Scapular push up * Scapular dip * Crab walk Common Treatment: Cryotherapy 10 minutes 2 times per day. Ultrasonography 1Mhz frequency, 0.4 watt/cm for 10 minutes. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) 10 minutes, modulation mode, frequency 280, wavelength 80. Cross arm stretching 5 times 30 sec hold. Shoulder isometric exercises 10 repetitions 3 sets for 3 times per week.
OTHER	Abdominal contraction exercises	Group B was treated with abdominal contraction exercises for periscapular activation that includes: Wall slide, knee pushup, external rotation kneeling, Full can and External rotation with elevation and isometric low row. Common Treatment: Cryotherapy 10 minutes 2 times per day. Ultrasonography 1Mhz frequency, 0.4 watt/cm for 10 minutes. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS) 10 minutes, modulation mode, frequency 280,wavelength 80. Cross arm stretching 5 times 30 sec hold. Shoulder isometric exercises 10 repetitions 3 sets for 3 times per week.
