Detailed Description

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

Shoulder pain is a common presenting complaint from patients of all ages in daily clinical practice, affecting approximately one-third of individuals during their lifetime. Such pain may lead to the impairment of shoulder joint function and to severe reduction in quality of life. Shoulder impingement syndrome.

Ultrasound (US) is a physical therapy agent that is frequently used as an adjunctive treatment for shoulder pain. US has thermal and biophysical ffects which provide analgesia increases nutrition and increases blood circulation.

Kinesio taping method (KT), has been widely used also for many musculoskeletal diseases including shoulder problems. Most of taping methods are aimed to provide a mechanical stimulus for proprioception or to decrease pain by lifting skin and subcutaneous tissues.

* To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on pain intensity.
* To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on shoulder ROM.
* To investigate the effect of adding ultrasound versus Kinesiotaping to exercise program on shoulder function.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients with shoulder impingement syndrome from both genders will participate in this study after approval of ethical committee of the faculty of physical therapy, Cairo University, and all participants provided written informed consent.

Sample size: estimate 45 patients until we measure power analysis

The subjects will be arranged into three groups:

* Group I (control group) will receive scapular stabilization exercises 3 times per week for 4 weeks.
* Group II will receive scapular stabilization exercises and Kinesiotape 3 times per week for 4 weeks.
* Group III will receive scapular stabilization exercises and Ultrasound 3 times per week for 4 weeks.

Kinesio Tape

Intervention Type OTHER

Kinesiotape 3 times per week for 4 weeks. We will apply taping to two muscles (deltoideus and supraspinatus). A "Y' tape was placed over the deltoid muscle using the muscle stimulation (KT strip arms were located by stretching slightly by 15%-25%) and mechanical correction techniques (KT strip arms were located with maximal stretching). Another "Y" tape was placed over the supraspinatus muscle using the muscle inhibition technique (the starting point of the tape was attached to the sub acromial-greater tubercle with submaximal (75%) stretching and without stretching on strip arms).
