Read the detailed description
Shoulder pain is one of the most common complaints in musculoskeletal practice, whether it comes from impingement syndrome or a defect in rotator cuff muscles .Shoulder pain is considered to be the third most common complaint in musculoskeletal practice, with a prevalence of 7% to 34% .Shoulder impingement is a syndrome where there is entrapment of soft tissue through the shoulder joint, with a prevalence of 44% to 65% of all shoulder complaints. Shoulder impingement has multiple causes, whether functional, degenerative, and anatomical and mechanical causes .Shoulder impingement classified to primary and secondary. Secondary impingement is subdivided into internal and external impingement .Proprioception components are joint position sense, kinesthesia, sense of force, sense of change of velocity. joint position sense is our perception of position of the joint or limb it divided to active/passive joint position sense, it means that the person can relocate the position of the joint or the limb to the same position after the joint or limb is moved.the muscle receptor helping in identifying the limb position and movement through changeling in neural signaling in the sensory receptor, giving the neurological control and basis of proprioception to sensory receptors located in the skin, muscles, and joints, so the proprioception is considered to be a loop of feedforward and feedback signals between sensory receptor and the nervous system. sixty eight subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome will be joined to this study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
shoulder impingement groupOther
the Patients with shoulder impingement syndrome in this group had at least 3 out of the following 6 criteria 1) positive "Neer's sign"; 2) positive "Hawkins' sign"; 3) pain on active shoulder elevation in the scapular plane, 4) pain on the C5-C6 dermatome; 5) pain on palpation of the rotator cuff tendons and 6) pain with resisted isometric abduction.
normal subjectsOther
the subjects in this group had no pain or disability in shoulder
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| shoulder impingement group | thirty four subjects with shoulder impingement will be included in this group Receives: Other: shoulder impingement group | |
| normal subjets | thirty four normal subjects will be included in this group Receives: Other: normal subjects |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
joint position error (cervical proprioception)
neck proprioception by Joint Position Error (JPE) using LASER beam Point tool and it's conducted as patient sitting 90 cm away from the target map on the wall ad a light weight headband with laser pointer is placed on the patient head, the patient is asked to focus on the center of the map while eye open then the patient asked to close his eyes and move his head in one plane and back to the starting point as accurately as possible and indicate verbally that he back to the starting position before opening his eyes, he repeated for 6 times in each plane and the distance between the starting point and the ending point is measured and then converted to degrees the patient is diagnosed to has a proprioception deficit if the mean error of any direction in more than 4.5 degrees
Measured: up to thirty minutes
shoulder disablity
The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The pain dimension consists of five questions regarding the severity of an individual's pain. Functional activities are assessed with eight questions designed to measure the degree of difficulty an individual has with various activities of daily living that require upper-extremity use.he pain scale is summed up to a total of 50 while the disability scale sums up to 80. The total SPADI score is expressed as a percentage. A score of 0 indicates best 100 indicates worst.
Measured: up to thirty minutes
pain intensity
Pain will be assed with numerical analog scale (NPRS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 cm) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. 0 mean no pain and 10 mean maximum pain
Measured: up to thirty minutes

What does the primary outcome measure?
joint position error (cervical proprioception) (time frame: up to thirty minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
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 4 Jun 2025.
