Summary
This study evaluate the effectiveness of adding neuromuscular exercises with tactile, visual and auditory feedback to a scapula-focused treatment, both emphasizing the periscapular muscles on improvement of disability in patients with subacromial pain syndrome compared to patients receiving only strengthening exercise protocol.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- Diagnosis of subacromial pain syndrome with confirmed positivity in at least three of the five specific orthopedic impact tests: Neer test, Hawkins- Kennedy test, painful arc, external rotation resistance and empty can. Present history of pain in the shoulder lasting more than a week located in the proximal area of the shoulder
Exclusion Criteria
- Subjects with a history of trauma or shoulder surgery, total rupture of the rotator cuff tendon and biceps, physically active involving the upper limbs or considered active accordance with the short version International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Subjects who have neurological diseases, referred pain in arms (indicative of involvement in the cervical or thoracic region), systemic disease involving the joints such as rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia, the presence of disorders in the wrist such as carpal tunnel syndrome, and have done physical therapy in the shoulder the last six months.
