Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are any difference between supervised exercise therapy and homebased exercise when looking at pain and function for patients with shoulder pain.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Shoulder pain is common in the population. Various treatment modalities are used. According to the literature, it is equally good results for home exercises and for guided exercise therapy. The purpose of this study is to look at this again and determine whether there are any difference between supervised exercise therapy and homebased exercise when looking at pain and function for patients with subacromial impingement.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

supervised exercise

The group gets 10 supervised exerciseclasses at the physiotherapy clinic in addition to homebased exercises

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

supervised exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

This group will receive 10 classes of supervised exercise in the 6 weeks intervention. In this classes the patients will be with a physiotherapist that will adjust their home-exercise program and make sure they do the exercises in a good way. They will receive 4-6 exercises they shall do 3 times with 30 repetitions, 2 times every day. If necessary, they should also do stretching exercises

homebased exercises

The group gets 1 supervised exerciseclass before they do all their exercises at home

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

homebased exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

This group will receive 1 class of supervised exercise at the beginning of the 6 weeks intervention. In this class the patients will be with a physiotherapist that will put together a home-exercise program and make sure they do the exercises in a good way. They will receive 4-6 exercises they shall do 3 times with 30 repetitions, 2 times every day. If necessary, they should also do stretching exercises
