About this study
Official title: Mirror Therapy is an Adjuvant Treatment Option Based on Shoulder Impingement Syndrome.
Background: Mirror therapy is an adjuvant treatment option based on shoulder impingement Syndrome Objective:To investigate the effect of mirror theraphy on shoulder impingement Syndrome Methods: The study included 62 participants, including cases in the intervention group (IG) (± years) and 20 cases in the control group (CG) (years) who met the selection criteria. IG received mirror theraphy with regular physiotherapy while CG received only regular physiotherapy. The patients were evaluated with the before treatment, immediately after treatment (post-treatment).
- Conditions
- Impingement Syndrome, Mirror Movements 2

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
mirror therapyOther
The patients in IG will receive exercise program before mirror theraphy. The patient will continue to do the exercises in front of the mirror for the remaining 20 minutes of the exercise. While doing the exercise with the healthy side in front of the mirror, the patient will try to do the same movement with the shoulder diagnosed with impingement syndrome on the other side of the mirror. The patient will try to do the movement correctly with the reflection in the mirror.
conventional physiotherapyOther
The conventional physiotherapy program included, wand exercises for shoulder abduction, flexion, hyperextension and internal and external rotation, Codman exercises and isometric and resistive exercises of the shoulder girdle. The exercise program is performed under the supervision of an experienced physiotherapist. The isometric exercises will be used during the painful period, and the resistance exercises will be added after the pain began to relieve.under the supervision of a physician in the first 30 minutes of their exercise.

| mirror therapy group | Experimental | conventional physiotherapy and mirror therapy Receives: Other: mirror therapy; Other: conventional physiotherapy |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
goniometer
shoulder range of motion and will be measured
Measured: 10 minutes
Hawkins test
impingement tests; forced internal rotation was performed while the arm and elbow were in 90° flexion
Measured: 5 minutes
Neer test
subacromial impingement test
Measured: 5 minutes
Jobe Test
lesions of the infraspinatus muscle
Measured: 5 minutes
Constant Murley Score
functional level of the patients' shoulder joint, higher scores mean a better outcome.
Measured: 10 minutes
Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale
will be used to evaluate kinesiophobia, higher scores mean worse outcome.
Measured: 10 minutes
