About this study

Official title: Effect of a Selected Suspension System Exercise Program on Patients With Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

To investigate the effect of shoulder exercise using a selected suspension system exercise program on pain, disability, functional performance and proprioception in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.

Read the detailed description

Two groups were assigned to this study, the first one received four conventional exercises that designed for shoulder impingement syndrome, the second group received the same four conventional exercises plus four selected suspension system exercises.

The sessions were conducted three times per week fir four weeks.

Being tested
Suspension system, Dumbbells

What participants receive

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

  • Suspension systemDevice

    Also called Neurac system

    Participants will be tested by four exercises designed for impingement syndrome using the suspension system

  • DumbbellsDevice

    Participants will be tested by four exercises designed for impingement syndrome using Dumbbells

Study groups in NCT05955820
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Conventional exercises for impingement syndromeExperimentalFour exercises (prone extension, side-lying external rotation, side-lying forward flexion, prone horizontal abduction with external rotation) will be performed for three sets of 10 repetitions
Receives: Device: Dumbbells
Suspension system exercises for impingement syndromeExperimentalFour exercises (Kneeling shoulder extension, Supine/ standing / kneeling row, sitting press up, kneeling push up) will be performed for 3-6 sets of 10 repetitions
Receives: Device: Suspension system

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement in active shoulder ROM

    Proprioception will be tested by using inclinometer to determine patient's active shoulder range of motion for internal and external rotation, flexion, and extension

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Improvement in functional performance

    Assessment of function using SPADI subscale which contains 13 items that assess two domains; a 5-item subscale that measures pain and 8-item subscale that measures disability. In addition, Several non-specific strength/power tests may assist in determining the level of functional performance of the patients

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Suspension system and Dumbbells in people with Impingement Syndrome, run by Cairo University 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 5 inclusion and 9 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 21 Jul 2023. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Improvement in active shoulder ROM (time frame: Baseline). 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 NCT05955820, 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 21 Jul 2023.
