About

studying the effect of ultrasound and kinesiotaping in shoulder impingement syndrome in reliefing pain and increase range of motion in subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome .

Full description

Shoulder pain is a common presenting complaint from patients of all ages in daily clinical practice, affecting approximately one-third of individuals during their lifetime. Such pain may lead to the impairment of shoulder joint function and to severe reduction in quality of life. Shoulder impingement syndrome.

Ultrasound (US) is a physical therapy agent that is frequently used as an adjunctive treatment for shoulder pain. US has thermal and biophysical ffects which provide analgesia increases nutrition and increases blood circulation.

Kinesio taping method (KT), has been widely used also for many musculoskeletal diseases including shoulder problems. Most of taping methods are aimed to provide a mechanical stimulus for proprioception or to decrease pain by lifting skin and subcutaneous tissues.

• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on pain intensity.
• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on shoulder ROM.
• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on shoulder function.
• To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on hand strength.
