What this Trial Is About
The distance between the acromion bone and the head of the humerus narrows in subacromial impingement syndrome. This narrowing leads to the compression of sensitive structures and results in pain and decreased functional performance.While taping and scapular stabilizing exercises are commonly used in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome, no comparisons were conducted previously between their effectiveness. This randomized clinical trial will be conducted at Punjab Sports Board, Lahore.This study will include patients with age group ≥18 years; pain located on the anterolateral side of the shoulder for ≥3 months with positive clinical signs. Group A will receive Kinesiotaping protocol and Group B will receive Scapular Stabilization exercises protocol.
