The Effect of Eight Week Selected Exercise Training on Range of Motion and Pain in Patient with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Shoulder impingement syndrome is one of the causes of shoulder pain and improve of range of motion in muscles of scapula and rotator cuff have great importante in the treatment of this syndrome. Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks selected exercise training on range of motion of the shoulder impingement syndrome. In this study, 24 non-athletes aged 35 to 55 years voluntarily participated and randomly divided into two experimental and control 12 person.
The experimental group participated in eight weeks training program (three sessions per week). While the control group did their daily activities. Descriptive statistics were used to calculate the mean and standard deviation. For determining the extent of changes within the group and between groups, was used dependent and independent t-test (P The results of study showed that selected exercises in the experimental group significantly increased range of motion in the shoulder and the pain was reduced compared to the control group.
The results indicate that the use of the exercise therapy can be an effective way for improve range of motion and decrease of pain in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
