OBJECTIVES:

The objectives of this study are:

  1. To determine the effect of progressive resistance training combined with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome in terms of strength.
  2. To determine the effect of progressive resistance training combined with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome in terms of pain.
  3. To determine the effect of progressive resistance training combined with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome in terms of range of motion.

1.HYPOTHESIS:

Alternate Hypothesis:

  1. There is significant effect in the study group in terms of pain with progressive resistance training than in control group with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
  2. There is significant effect in the study group in terms of range of motion with progressive resistance training than in the control group with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
  3. There is significant effect in the study group in terms of strength with progressive resistance training than in the control group with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

Null Hypothesis:

  1. There is no significant effect in the study group in terms of pain with progressive resistance training than in control group with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
  2. There is no significant effect in the study group in terms of range of motion with progressive resistance training than in the control group with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
  3. There is no significant effect in the study group in terms of strength with progressive resistance training than in the control group with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

Research Design: Experimental study. Randomized Control Trial

Clinical setting: Rehabilitation department, Fauji Foundation Hospital Study duration: 18 months

Selection Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria Both genders (Male and Female) Young early adulthood with age 20-40 years. Diagnosed Cases of Shoulder impingement syndrome.

Exclusion criteria:

Active joint disease (rheumatoid, or any other rheumatological disease) Any history of Cardiovascular events Recent history of upper limb surgery Hematological disease. Osteoporosis. Osteomyelitis Active fractures/ non or mal-union fractures Rotator cuff tears Adhesive capsulitis. Sampling technique: Convenience sampling envelope Method

Outcome Measures:

  1. Data will be collected on Demographics and general information
  2. Pain will be assessed with the help of NPRS (numeric pain rating scale Scale)
  3. Strength will be measured while calculating the repetition maximum
  4. Range of motion will be calculated by Goniometry
  5. self rated upper extremity disability will be measured by DASH (disabilities of Arm, shoulder and hand) questionnaire

Study Group (B) = This group will receive TENS+ Hot pack, Pendulum exercises and stretching exercises for first two weeks before moving to the strength training to avoid any damage incase patient is in the inflammatory phase

  • 6RM Load will be determined after which resistance band and multipulley system will be used for treatment and treatment will be divided in to a series of 8 repetitions: 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, and 50% of 6RM over the period of 6 weeks. Speed of movement will be 2 seconds for both the eccentric and concentric phases.
  • To strengthen the shoulder muscles patients will perform flexion, extension, medial and lateral rotation using multipulley system.

Resistance training will only be given to the study group. This groups outcome meaures will be assessed at 3 weeks and then 6th week.

Control group (B) =this group will not receive resistance training through resistance band and multipulley, only traditional Physical therapy will be given and their outcomes will be observed at the baseline and then after treatment of 6 weeks.

Data analysis techniques:

Firstly, Informed consent will be taken by the participants. Data will be gathered according to the inclusion criteria mentioned in the study. Screening tests will be applied and if patient reports the following tests positive: Painful Arc Sign, Infraspinatus test, and Hawkin Kennedy then there is a high likelihood ratio of having the disease and if all three tests are negative, there is strong evidence of absence of disease. Tests for other muscles will also be applied that passes through the subacromial space. Pain will be scored using numeric pain rating scale before the assignment of population in both the groups. Convenience sampling will be used to include the participants in either the control group or study group.

Significance of the study:

  1. Progressive resistance training program for the musculature of the shoulder in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome may prove effective in reducing pain, increasing strength and improving function.
  2. This study will help the practitioner to use the new treatment options for treating patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
  3. The results of the study will add to the literature about the effects of progressive resistance training combined with traditional physical therapy in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Progressive resistance trainingProcedure or surgery

    • 6RM Load will be determined after which multipulley system will be used for treatment and treatment will be divided in to two series of 8 repetition:
    • 25%, 30%,35%,40%, 50% of 6RM over the period of 6 weeks
    • Speed of movement will be 2 seconds for both the eccentric and concentric phases.
    • To strengthen the shoulder muscles patients will perform flexion, extension, medial and lateral rotation using multipulley system.
  • Traditional physical therapyProcedure or surgery

    • TENS+ Hot pack
    • Pendulum exercises and stretching exercises
Study groups in NCT06079944
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group A- Control groupActive comparatorGroup (A)/ control group Involves participants receiving 1. TENS+ hot pack (10mins) 2. Pendulum exercises and stretching exercises This group will not receive resistance training from 5 repetitions to 20 repetitions of door way stretch (maintained for 30seconds), pendulum exercises and foam roll strtech will be provided over the 6 weeks protocol
Receives: Procedure: Traditional physical therapy
Group B- Study GroupExperimentalGroup (B)/ Experimental group involves participants receiving Traditional l physical therapy for shoulder impingement syndrome for 6 weeks. 1. TENS+ hot pack (10mins) 2. Pendulum exercises and stretching exercises 3-6RM Load will be determined after which multipulley system will be used for treatment and treatment will be divided in to two series of 8 repetition: 25%, 30%,35%,40%, 50% of 6RM over the period of 6 weeks Speed of movement will be 2 seconds for both the eccentric and concentric phases. To strengthen the shoulder muscles patients will perform flexion, extension, medial and lateral rotation It is a combined treatment so study group will receive both study group and control group intervention
Receives: Procedure: Progressive resistance training; Procedure: Traditional physical therapy
