Summary

SUMMARY : Introduction: Shoulder impingement syndrome is a slowly progressive disease.Among people with shoulder pain, shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) has the highest prevalence and accounts for 36% of shoulder disorders.Most studies have examined the effect of stretching and strengthening exercises on the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint). Objective:The objective of this study is to determine the effect of the Abdominal Drawing-In Maneuver combined with Cross-Pattern Limb Exercises on pain and disability and range of motion in patients with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome. Methodology: This study will be Randomized Controlled Trial and 38 subjects will be taken for the study those who fulfills the inclusion criteria. They will be randomly divided into two groups, in control group only conventional treatment and in experimental trial group, conventional treatment as well as abdominal drawing in maneuver with cross pattern limb exercises will be given. Each subject of the study will be treated for a period of 4 weeks, 3 days a week, one session per day. An assessment will be done prior to starting of treatment, after 4 weeks of treatment, again assessment will be taken for these subjects. Pain and disability is measured by using NPRS, SPADI and range of motion flexion, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation will be measured by using Goniometer. The data will be analyzed using SPSS version 25, quantitative variables will be presented using mean, standard deviation, range, histograms. Categorical variables will be presented as frequencies, percentages, cross tabulation and bar charts, pie charts. Normality of data will be analyzed by shapiro-wilk test. Parametric independent t-test will be used to check difference between the groups and paired t-test will be used to find difference within the group.
