About this trial

this study aims to assess the gluteus maximus muscle electromyographic activity and the latissimus dorsi muscle electromyographic activity in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome , to improve the assessment procedure and the rehabilitation program for treating patients with shoulder impingement syndrome more effectively. .

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Both male and female patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

patients complain from unilateral shoulder pain with chronic conditions of SIS ≥ 3 months.

Patient age from 25 to 40 years.

Patients with Positive impingement tests.

Disqualifiers

Patients with Numbness or tingling of upper extremity.

Patients with Shoulder fracture or previous shoulder surgery, and Acromioclavicular or shoulder dislocation.

Patients with Any traumatic injury to the lower limb in the previous 6 months.

Any spine surgery within the last 2 years.

Trial population

All patients will be referred by an orthopedic surgeon who will diagnose SIS based on clinical and radiological examination.

Group B: Group B (experimental group)1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

• electromyographic activity of posterior oblique sling muscles (gluteus maximus and latissimus dorsi)

EMG has been widely used for many decades, its use is proven and widely accepted by clinicians and the scientific community and it is considered the gold standard method for the measurement of muscle activity.

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 4 months

Secondary outcomes

1

shoulder active range of motion

Universal goniometry is frequently used by physical therapists to assess ROM due to its ease of use, portability, noninvasive nature, and low cost.

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 4 months
2

shoulder function and disability level

The Arabic Q-DASH questionnaire has demonstrated good reliability, validity, and responsiveness when used for patients with upper extremity disorders.

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 4 months
3

shoulder pain

The ordinal 11-point NPRS (0-no pain, 10-most intense pain) has good test-retest reliability (r=.79-.96) in individuals with chronic pain and musculoskeletal pathology.

Time frame
through study completion, an average of 4 months
