ABSRACT:

BACKGROUND AND AIM:

In shoulder impingement syndrome, the supraspinatus tendon and subacromial bursa are persistently entrapped between the humeral head inferiorly and the anterior acromion itself, spurs of the anterior acromion or acromioclavicular joint, or the coracoacromial ligament superiorly, the most common clinical features is pain and pain is increased with arm elevation and restricted range of motion of shoulder joint. So the purpose of this study is to find the effectiveness of movement with mobilization and scapular stabilization in shoulder impingement syndrome.

OBJECTIVE:

1.    To determine the effectiveness of movement with mobilization and scapular stabilization in reducing pain among subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome using SPADI.

2.    To determine the effectiveness of movement with mobilization and scapular stabilization in increasing range of motion among subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome using goniometer.

METHOD:

STUDY DESIGN: Experimental study.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUE: Convenient Sampling technique.

SAMPLE SIZE: 40 subjects.

RESULT: The statistical analysis shows that there is an significant improvement in shoulder range of motion and reduction in pain with movement with mobilization among subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome when compared with scapular stabilization.

CONCLUSION: From this result, it has been concluded that movement with mobilization showed improvement in reducing pain and improving ROM when compared to the scapular stabilization among patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

KEYWORDS:

Shoulder impingement syndrome, movement with mobilization, scapular stabilization, shoulder pain and disability index, goniometry.
