What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial study is to investigate the effect of performing lower limb kinetic chain exercise on muscle activation of scapular muscle strength ratio in patients with shoulder impingement. the main question it aims to answer is: Does the addition of lower limb kinetic chain exercise to a shoulder exercise program improve scapular muscles strength ratio in patients with shoulder impingement? participants will be devided into two groups to be compared: The first group will be given a rehabilitation program consisting of strengthening exercises (for scapular stabilizers and rotator cuff) and stretching exercises (for pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, latissimus dorsi, levator scapula) The second group will be given the same exercises in addition to lower limb kinetic chain exercise
