141 Terminology and diagnostic criteria used in clinical studies investigating subacromial impingement syndrome: a scoping review

Abstract

baseline. Patients were followed for 12 months and assessed for the presence of mechanical symptoms at 3, 6 and 12 months. Results In total, 63/121 patients reported mechanical symptoms at baseline (surgery, n=33 and exercise, n=30), while 9/ 26 in the surgery group and 20/29 in the exercise group reported mechanical symptoms at 12-month (missing data on 8 patients). During follow-up 8 patients crossed over from the exercise group to use the opportunity for later surgery.At 12-month the risk difference was 34.4% (95% CI 9.5-59.2) and the relative risk was 1.99 (95%CI, 1.11-3.57) in favour of the surgery group. Similarly, a larger proportion of patients in the exercise group reported mechanical symptoms at 3 and 6 months. Conclusion Our results suggest that meniscal surgery may be superior in alleviating mechanical symptoms compared with exercise therapy and patient education with the option of later surgery in young patients with meniscal tears and self-reported mechanical symptoms.

Shoulder Proprioception and Its Correlation with Pain Intensity and Functional Disability in Individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome—A Cross-Sectional Study

“…Forty-two participants diagnosed with subacromial impingement syndrome were recruited for this study. The following inclusion criteria served as the rationale for selecting the participants: clinically diagnosed with subacromial impingement syndrome between 20 and 50 years of age; unilateral shoulder pain that is exacerbated at the end of the range of motion (ROM) and during extended periods of abduction without significant hypomobility, presenting a positive sign in the Hawkins–Kennedy test as well as the Neer sign simultaneously [ 20 ]. Participants were excluded if they had ≥50% limitation of active or passive shoulder ROM, a history of fracture involving the upper extremity, shoulder surgery, a full-thickness rotator cuff tear, shoulder instability, a history of shoulder surgery, systemic musculoskeletal disease, or shoulder pain with cervical spine motion, neurological disorders affecting proprioception, and any other musculoskeletal or systemic condition affecting shoulder function.…”
