Clinical Trial: Mobilization With Movement for Shoulder Impingement
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Effects of Mobilization-with-Movement on Pain and Range of Motion in Unilateral Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: Controversy exists regarding the effectiveness of manual therapy techniques for the management of impingement syndrome. However, no adequately powered clinical trials have examined the effects of mobilization-with-movement. The purpose of the current study was to perform a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of real MWM to a group receiving a sham intervention on shoulder pain at different moments and active shoulder range of motion in an adequately powered sample of patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: César Fernández-de-las-Peñas
Current Primary Outcome: Changes in the intensity of shoulder pain before and after the treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline and one week after intervention ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome: Changes in shoulder range of motion before and after the treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline and one week after the intervention ]
A universal goniometer was used to assess the participant's shoulder range of motion in the following motions:
- Pain-free and maximum (painful) range of motion in shoulder flexion
- Pain-free range of motion in shoulder extension
- Pain-free range of motion in shoulder abduction
- Pain-free range of motion in shoulder external rotation
- Pain-free range of motion in shoulder medial (internal) rotation
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
