CORRELATION BETWEEN SHOULDER DYSFUNCTION and FRONTAL PLANE POSTURE in SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME
The purpose of this study will be to investigate if there is any correlation between shoulder dysfunction and the lateral alignment of the spine, scapular dyskinesia, pelvic tilting angle, Shoulder height angle, and trunk side bending (strength and mobility) in the frontal plane in patients with unilateral SIS.
• Non-athletic patients of both sexes.
• referred by an orthopedic surgeon with a diagnosis of unilateral SIS (Stage I, or II).
• Patients aged between 20 to 40 years.
• BMI between 18.5 to 29.9 kg/m2.
• having four or more of the following findings:
‣ Shoulder pain that is located either anteriorly or laterally to the acromion process
⁃ Pain worsening by shoulder flexion and/or abduction
⁃ A painful movement arc ranging from 60° to 120°
⁃ A palpably painful greater tuberosity of the humerus
⁃ The pain is replicated using the supraspinatus empty-can test, A positive Neer impingement sign, external rotation resistance test, and a positive Hawkins sign.
