Brief Summary

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

The purpose of the study is to compare the elasticity of thoracolumbar fascia in patients with and without subacromial impingement syndrome.

30 patients diagnosed as subacromial impingement syndrome in physical medicine and rehabilitation department of Baskent University will be recruited as group 1. 30 healthy volunteers will be recruited as group 2. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) with the aim of assessing pain severity, tape measurement for posterior capsule shortness; body lateral flexion, rotation and extensor movements and lumbar extensor shortness will be observed for correlation with thoracalumbal fascia flexibility. Lateral flexion, flexion, and extension movements will be measured using goniometry for trunk normal joint movements. The thoracolumbar fascia length test and Modify Schober test will be used for thoracolumbar fascia length.

Study Groups

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

Group 1

Assessments will be done for 30 patients diagnosed as subacromial impingement syndrome in physical medicine and rehabilitation department of Baskent University.

Visual Analogue Scale

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

intensity of pain perception patients feel

posterior capsule tightness

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

tape measurement for posterior capsule tightness with patients lying at side and horizontally adducting their shoulder.

shortness tests for lumbar movements

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

tape measurement for lumbar movements

range of motion tests for lumbar movements

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

range of motion measurements for lumbar flexion, extension and lateral flexion with goniometer.

The thoracolumbar fascia length test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

patient sitting straight with shoulders at horizontal plane, both the arms are asked to rotated with primarily spinal rotation. the degree of rotation gives idea about the thoracolumbar fascia length

Modify Schober test

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

tape measurement of spinal flexion between designated regions
