About this study

Official title: The Effect of Biomechanical Scapular Mobilization With Movement and Motor Learning in Shoulder Impingement Patients

the study about new mobilization technique used in shoulder impingement syndrome patient to increase the range of motion of elevation, decrease the pain, and increasing the function level, this technique is based on normal mechanics that occur inside the joint during certain movement.

Read the detailed description

The study is about a new technique of mobilization based on normal biomechanics that occurs during the movements of a joint. For example, shoulder abduction or elevation needs the scapula to move upward rotation with posterior tilt and external rotation. Moreover, needs glenohumeral (GH) joint glide inferior and posterior these movements occur normally to permit us to elevate our shoulder without any restriction and the full range of motion(ROM). so in the patients with shoulder problems and have difficulties reaching full ROM of elevation the investigators applied mobilization of scapula toward upward rotation with external rotation and posterior tilt and by using mobilization belt applied posterior and inferior glide to GH joint. However, mobilization techniques have a short-term effect to enhance this effect, the investigators adding a motor learning approach to achieve a long-term effect and prevent recurrent .the investigators applied this technique 3 times per week for 3 weeks.

    the therapist applied posterior tilt and exteral rotation with upward rotation mobilization to scapula and therapist also warp bilt around GH joint to applied inferior and posterior glid then ask patient to elevate his arm. then we applied motor learning approach by asking patient to elevate his arm with maintaining of external rotation with posterior glid of scapula.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual Analogue Scale

    1. Visual Analogue Scale: was used to evaluate the intensity of pain, which The pain VAS is a continuous scale comprised of a horizontal (HVAS) or vertical (VVAS) line, usually, 10 centimetres in length, anchored by 2 verbal descriptors, one for each symptom extreme. For pain intensity, the scale is most commonly anchored by "no pain" (score of 0) and "pain as bad as it could be" or "worst imaginable pain" (score of 10 centimetres).

    Measured: 3 weeks

  2. Universal Goniometer

    Universal goniometer: was used to measure the available range of motion at a joint. where used to measure an available range of motion of abduction and flexion of the shoulder joint.

    Measured: 3 weeks

Model description
Patients were divided randomly in two equal groups (A and B): Group A (controlled group): They were received traditional physical therapy program including: passive range of motion (PROM)/ active assisted range of motion (AAROM)/ active range of motion (AROM), strengthen of rotator cuff, biceps, shoulder and scapular muscles, ultrasound (5 min. - 1.5 W/c.m2 - 1 MHZ), electrical stimulation ( interferential bipolar technique for 20 min. on shoulder joint). Group B (study group): they have received the same physical therapy program as in group A, in addition to Biomechanical scapular mobilization with movement and motor learning.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing biomechanical scapular mobilization with movement and motor learning in people with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, run by Pharos University in Alexandria at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Apr 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual Analogue Scale (time frame: 3 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04701814, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2022.
