Feedback improves the scapular-focused treatment effects in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome

Abstract

Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the efects of scapular-focused treatment with (SFTF) and without (SFT) feedback on pain, function, and scapular kinematics in patients with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS). Methods Seventy-ive males and females with SIS were randomly assigned into SFTF (n = 25), SFT (n = 25) and control (n = 25) groups. The primary outcome was pain, assessed by Visual Analog Scale (VAS). The secondary outcomes were function and scapular kinematics, assessed by DASH Questionnaire and a 3-D motion capture, respectively. All outcomes were measured at the baseline and after the 8-week interventions. Results A post hoc analysis performed to show signiicant diferences between groups after the 8-week interventions. For pain, there were signiicant diferences between SFTF vs. SFT (ES (95% CI) = − 0.3(− 0.4 to − 0.1); P = 0.04), SFTF vs. control (ES (95% CI) = 1.3(0.7-1.9); P = 0.01). For DASH, also, there were signiicant diferences between SFTF vs. SFT (ES (95% CI) = 1.8(1.1-2.4); P = 0.03), SFTF vs. control (ES (95% CI) = 4.4(3.3-5.4); P = 0.01), and SFT vs. control (ES (95% CI) = 2.6(1.8-3.4); P = 0.01). For scapular internal rotation (the sagittal or scapular planes), scapular upward rotation, and the scapular tilt, however, there were no diferences between SFTF vs. SFT. Conclusion Based on the study results, a rehabilitation program integrated with verbal feedbacks is efective to relieve pain, and improve function and scapular kinematics in patients with SIS. Adding feedback to an exercise therapy could clinically enhance outcomes in patients with SIS. Level of evidence Level II.Trial registration This study was prospectively registered at UMIN-CTR website, and the unique trail number is UMIN000036399.

“…The results of the DASH evaluation obtained in this study are similar to those described by Moslehi et al studythis group of researchers also evaluated the results of the study participants after 8 weeks of intervention by measuring DASH, and the score obtained was 13.2 points (SD 7.4) for the group using the feedback method, 17.3 points (SD 6.5 ) for the group that received exercise therapy without video feedback, and 25.0 points (SD 7.2) for the control group (Moslehi et al, 2020).…”
