What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating whether shoulder dysfunction is related to body posture characteristics in patients with unilateral Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). The study aims to find correlations between shoulder problems and factors like spine alignment, scapular movement, pelvic tilt, shoulder height, and trunk side bending strength and mobility in the frontal plane. This observational study includes adults aged 20 to 40 years with unilateral SIS, focusing on how these physical measures relate to shoulder pain and disability. The study will involve 34 male and female participants diagnosed with unilateral SIS referred by orthopedic surgeons. Various assessments will be performed, including measuring shoulder pain and disability using the Arabic version of the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). Thoracolumbar lateral deviation will be measured with a scoliometer, scapular dyskinesia with the lateral scapular slide test, and pelvic tilting and shoulder height angles using Kinovea software. Trunk side bending range of motion and strength will be evaluated with a bubble inclinometer and handheld dynamometer, respectively. Participants will undergo evaluations over a two-month period to measure these physical and functional outcomes. Researchers will monitor shoulder pain, disability levels, posture angles, scapular movement, and trunk side bending capabilities to understand their relationship. The study relies on clear instructions given to participants to ensure accurate and consistent assessments. The total participation duration is approximately two months, during which multiple measurements will be taken to track these variables.
