Brief Summary

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

Manual therapy combined with a protocol of therapeutic exercises will increase the beneficial effects on scapular kinematics, myofascial pain and function in subjects with shoulder impingement when compared to exercises only.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* history of non-traumatic onset of shoulder pain;
* painful arc during active elevation of the arm;
* one or more positive shoulder impingement tests (Neer, Hawkins and Jobe), or pain during passive or resisted external rotation of the arm at 90° of abduction;
* pain with palpation of the rotator cuff tendons;
* all subjects need also to be able to reach 150° of arm elevation as evaluated by visual observation.

Exclusion Criteria

* limitation of glenohumeral internal and external rotation as indicative of adhesive capsulitis;
* body mass index \> 28kg/m2 as the amount of subcutaneous tissue can compromise the quality of the signal increasing soft tissue artifact;
* numbness or tingling of the upper limb reproduced by cervical compression test;
* history of clavicle, scapula or humerus fracture;
* history of rotator cuff surgery;
* systemic illnesses;
* positive sulcus or apprehension tests as indicative of instability;
* positive drop arm test as indicative of full thickness tear;
* corticosteroid injection within 3 months prior to intervention, or physiotherapy within 6 months prior to intervention;
* depressive symptoms as evaluated by the Beck Depression Inventory score ( \> 9 points) due to its influence on myofascial pain;
* allergy to tape.
