BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIAS) is a painful condition resulting from the entrapment of anatomical structures between the anterioinferior corner of the acromion and the greater tuberosity of the humerus. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) of the shoulder is the most common disorder of the shoulder, accounting for 44-65% of all complaints of shoulder. SAIS is usually treated conservatively, but sometimes it is treated with arthroscopic surgery or open surgery. Conservatively treatment includes rest, cessation of painful activity, ultrasound therapy, laser and physiotherapy focused at maintaining range of movement and avoids shoulder stiffness. NSAIDS's and ice packs may be used for pain relief. Therapeutic injections of corticosteroid and local anesthetic may be used for persistent impingement syndrome. Hence this study aimed to compare and see the effectiveness of ultrasound, kinesio taping and exercises with low level laser, kinesio taping and exercises. STUDY DESIGN: Comparative study design SETTING: Outpatient
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
