“…It was observed in subjects with SIS, that they had overactivation of the upper trapezius and inhibition of the lower trapezius and serratus anterior muscle [12]. Presently, rehabilitation protocols prioritize the importance of restoring scapular movement control [13,14] and the importance of stabilizing the muscles surrounding the subacromial space [15,16]. In general, Kinesio taping (KT) applications play an essential role in the management of SIS.…”

Background: Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is a major contributing factor for shoulder pain. Although many therapists use Kinesio Taping (KT) and Manual Therapy (MT) for SIS, no such studies in combination with Supervised Exercise Therapy (SET) have been conducted in the context of Saudi Arabia. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of KT and MT with SET in patients with SIS. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. Thirty-two subjects were assigned into two groups (KT with SET and MT with SET). The following outcome measures were measured at baseline, three weeks and six weeks. The outcome measurements are pain intensity by a numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), Active range of motion in the shoulder (AROM) by goniometry, and the functions of the shoulder measured through Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). A simple descriptive statistical analysis was adopted to describe the patient-specific demographic characteristics with respect to outcome parameters. Within-group and between groups comparison were analyzed using ANOVA, and Scheffes' posthoc tests by using SPSS 21.0. Results: Sixteen subjects completed treatment in each group. No differences were identified between groups at baseline. In ANOVA, it was shown that both groups significantly (p<0.05) decreased pain intensity, improved function and increased shoulder AROM in the 3rd week, and 6th week. However, post hoc analysis results suggested that the KT, in conjunction with SET, had a higher proportion of change on 3rd week, of the pain intensity, SPADI, and AROM. Conclusion: KT with SET has been found to be more effective than the MT with SET in the 3rd week and had the same effect in the 6th week of the treatment. When an immediate effect is expected, KT may be a better choice of treatment in the management of SIS.

“…Various studies done on individuals with scapular dyskinesis often show hyperactivity of the Upper trapezius with reduced and delayed Middle and Lower Trapezius muscle activation, which is associated with decreased amounts of scapular upward rotation, external rotation, and posterior tilt. The serratus anterior and the lower trapezius muscles appear to be the first muscles involved in inhibition-based muscle dysfunction [7].…”

“…The position of the scapula in cricket bowlers during elevation show that the scapula is asymmetrically placed inferiorly and laterally, showing greater internal rotation, decreased upward rotation and excessive anterior tilt. This is usually associated with the weakness of scapular stabilizers (upper and lower trapezius, serratus anterior, deltoid, rhomboids) and rotator cuff muscles due to repetitive action of throwing [6,7]. DiGiovine et al found that all the scapular muscles are highly active during the arm acceleration phase and deceleration phase [8].…”

Background: 19.8–34.1% of Upper limb injuries are recorded of total injuries in cricket. Shoulder joint is the most affected joint in bowlers. Inadequate force generation due to improper position of scapula and less strength of shoulder muscle might affect the performance of the players. So the objectives of the study was to see the effect of Thrower’s Ten Exercise Program on scapular dyskinesia and throwing accuracy . Methodology: 30 cricket bowlers (district and state level) with scapular dyskinesia were selected. Pre and post evaluation for scapular dyskinesia and Functional Throwing Performance Index (FTPI) was done post intervention. The intervention was carried out for 6 weeks . Results: There was significant improvement seen in scapular dyskinesia (p=0.0001) and in throwing accuracy (p=0.0002). Conclusion: This study concludes that the Thrower’s Ten Exercise Program when given for a period of 3dyas for 6 weeks showed highly significant improvement in scapular dyskinesia and throwing accuracy. KEY WORDS: Scapular Dyskinesia, Cricket Bowlers, Throwing Accuracy, Thrower’s ten program.

“…The results of this study showed that in people with impingement syndrome, the kyphosis angle increased, the distance of the scapula from the spine at the affected side increased, the range of shoulder extension decreased, and the isometric strength of the shoulder involved in the abduction, flexion, and extension reduced. its supporting muscles can lead to the development of abnormal shoulder girdle biomechanics [13]. Scapular dislocation influences the function and energy generation of the shoulder girdle, especially the muscles supporting the scapula.…”

This case-control study aimed at comparing the kyphosis angle, position of the shoulder, the strength of rotator cuff muscles, and the range of shoulder motions in volleyball players with and without impingement syndrome. Methods: The participants were 22 male professional volleyball players with at least 5 years of training experience. Eleven volleyball players with impingement syndrome and eleven without impingement syndrome were selected from accessible gyms by simple non-probabilistic sampling. The research tools were a flexible ruler, a measuring tape, a goniometer, a pull-up bar, a dynamometer, and tests to measure the distance between spinal midline and the shoulder, kyphosis angle, flexibility, range of motion, and isometric strength of the shoulder girdle muscles in abduction, adduction, flexion, extension, horizontal adduction, and horizontal abduction. Data were analyzed using SPSS V. 19 software and the Shapiro-Wilk test and independent t-test. Results: There was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of kyphosis angle, the distance between spinal midline and the shoulder, range of motion of the glenohumeral joint in abduction, and isometric strength of the shoulder girdle muscles in abduction, flexion, and extension (P<0.01). However, no significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of flexibility of the shoulder when lying on the abdomen with arms stretched out in front, endurance in the strength of the shoulder girdle muscles, and isometric strength of the shoulder girdle muscles in adduction, horizontal adduction, and horizontal abduction (P>0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that angle of kyphosis, scapula distance to spine, range of motion of the shoulder, factor profile of a range of motion, and isometric muscle strength of shoulder girdle altered in people with shoulder impingement syndrome, and dysfunctions in these factors may result in shoulder impingement syndrome and athlete performance inefficiency.
