TITLE OF THE STUDY:</p><p>“A STUDY TO FIND OUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CLAVICULAR MOBILIZATION IN IMPROVING THE SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME” 6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK :</p><p>6.1. NEED OF THE STUDY : </p><p>Subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) of the shoulder is the most common disorder of the shoulder, accounting for 44-65% of all the complaints of shoulder pain.1</p><p>Shoulder pain is second only to low back pain in occurrence, affecting approximately 16-21% of the population.2,3,4 Moreover, approximately one-fifth of all disability payments for musculoskeletal disorders are for patients with shoulder disorders.5</p><p>Pain and dysfunction occurs when the shoulder is placed in positions of elevations6 with overhead activities7, 8 in impingement syndrome and is common in younger adults. (25-40 years).</p><p>Subacromial impingement syndrome is also seen in the athletes and swimmers and the young individuals who usually participate in sports and also who require repetitive overhead motion.9</p><p>The shoulder complex consists of humerus, scapula and clavicle, which forms glenohumeral, acromioclavicular, scapulothoracic and sternoclavicular joints which are joined by several interconnecting ligaments and layers of muscles.</p><p>The subacromial space is defined by the humeral head inferiorly, the anterior edge and under surface of the anterior third of the acromion, coracoacromial ligament and acromioclavicular joint superiorly.10 This syndrome is associated with pathology of one or more of the contents of the subacromial space.6</p><p>SAIS is a mechanical impingement of the rotator cuff tendons beneath the anterior-inferior portion of the acromion occurring when the shoulder is placed in the forwardly flexed and internally rotated position.11</p><p>This disorder can be present from inflammation to degeneration of the bursa and rotator cuff tendons of the subacromial space.12 Typically external rotation, flexion and abduction of the shoulder are weak and painful. Night pain due to which inability to sleep on the painful shoulder are the main features.13</p><p>Approximately 20° of motion occurs at the AC joint during arm abduction with 10° occurring during the last 45° of the normal range (180°) of arm elevation. At both the AC and SC joints, the clavicle posteriorly rotates approximately 45° during arm elevation. This motion is allowed by the planar configuration at the AC joint and the fibro-cartilaginous articulating disc between the sternum and the proximal clavicle. The most common three restrictions the AC joint involve limited internal and external rotation and abduction.14</p><p>A functional AC joint is mandatory for normal shoulder function since clavicular rotation is essential for the abduction of this complex joint to move more than 90° of the glenohumeral joint.15</p><p>But AC and SC joints being small joints, the contribution of clavicle is been ignored in the movement of shoulder joint in the previous studies, and hence my study will be focusing on the importance of the mobilization of AC and SC joints in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.</p><p>Studies show that Joint mobilization techniques in combination with therapeutic exercise should be favored over exercise alone in the patients with SAIS.16 This study will thus be intended to do the importance of clavicular mobilization in subacromial impingement syndrome.</p><p>6.2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE : Prevalence:</p><p>1. Van Der Windt et al (1995)1 stated that SAIS of the shoulder is the most common disorder accounting for 44-65% of all complaints of shoulder pain during a physician’s office visit.</p><p>2. Pope DP et al (1997)4 stated that shoulder pain comes second only to low back pain in occurrence and affects approximately 16-21% of population.</p><p>3. Masten and Arntz (1990)17 stated that more than a third of painful shoulder diagnoses are related to disorders of the rotator cuff that are often related to Shoulder impingement syndrome.</p><p>AC and SC joint Mobilization:</p><p>4. Gaunt BW18 has demonstrated that the direct mobilization of AC and SC joint can efficiently and effectively result in a marked immediate increase in shoulder elevation.</p><p>5. Hakan et al (1998)15 said that a functional AC joint is mandatory for normal shoulder function since clavicular rotation is essential for the abduction of the shoulder to move more than 90°.</p><p>Scapular stabilization exercises:</p><p>6. Baskurt Z et al (2011)19 suggested that scapular stabilization exercises when given with stretching and strengthening exercises can be more effective in increasing muscle strength.</p><p>7. Ashim Bakshi (2008)20 stated the importance of scapular stabilization exercises because of posterior capsular tightness in the impingement syndrome.</p><p>8. Jason Brumitt (2006)21 said about the importance of the scapular stabilization exercises as scapula plays a vital role in the shoulder functions.</p><p>9. Farhad O. Moola22 stated that scapular stabilization refers to a set of exercises that strengthen the shoulder girdle muscles to restore the normal scapular motion and correct dyskinesia.</p><p>Stretching: 10. Baskurt Z.19 stated the importance of stretching in relieving the tightness of the muscles in the impingement shoulder syndrome.</p><p>Cryotherapy:</p><p>11. David Edell23 stated that ice, preferably ice massage, before and after range of motion and strength exercises and following any activity which produces pain is beneficial.</p><p>Special tests: 12. Michener LA(2008)24 conducted a study stating that out of Neer impingement test, Hawkins- Kennedy test, Painful arc test, Empty can (Jobe) test, External rotation resistance test, cut point of 3 or more positive of 5 tests can confirm the diagnosis of SAIS, while less than 3 positive of 5 rules out SAIS.</p><p>13. Hegedus EJ(2006)25 revealed that the pooled sensitivity and specificity for the Neer test was 79% and 53%, respectively, and for the Hawkins-Kennedy test was 79% and 59% respectively.</p><p>Outcome Measures :</p><p>Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI):</p><p>14. Catherine L Hill et al (2011)26 stated that SPADI has a bi-dimensional factor structure representing pain and stability, with adequate internal consistency and construct validity for the use in population studies of shoulder symptoms.</p><p>15. Roach KE et al (1991)27 stated that SPADI is the only reliable and valid region-specific measure for the shoulder.</p><p>Range of Motion (ROM):</p><p>16. Marx RG et al (1999)28 have stated that standardized goniometric measurements of the shoulder have been shown to have a good intra rater reliability and validity.</p><p>17. Mag. Kathie Musil (2006)29 stated that range of motion is limited in the patients with SAIS due to the capsular tightness.</p><p>6.3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:</p><p> To find out the effectiveness of clavicular mobilization in improving range of motion (ROM) and activities of daily living (ADL) in subjects with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS).</p><p>6.4. HYPOTHESES :</p><p> a). Research hypothesis : </p><p> There is a significant effect of clavicular mobilization in improving the ADL and ROM in </p><p> patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.</p><p> b). Null hypothesis : </p><p> There is no significant effect of clavicular mobilization in improving the ADL and ROM in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.</p><p>MATERIALS AND METHODS : </p><p>7.1.

SAMPLING METHOD AND SAMPLE SIZE :</p><p> a) Sampling method : Random sampling method</p><p> b) Sample size: 30 subjects. 15 subjects in each group.</p><p>7.2.4. PROCEDURE :</p><p> Subjects will be screened on the basis of the selection criteria and the informed consent will be obtained from them.</p><p> Study sample consists of 15 in each group based on the random sampling.</p><p> Participants will be explained about the whole procedure and if needed task will be demonstrated.</p><p> The components of SPADI (Shoulder pain and disability index) are explained properly in detail before the questionnaire is asked to them.</p><p>Group A: (Experimental Group)</p><p>The experimental group will be treated with the following treatmemts:</p><p>. Cryotherapy</p><p>. Stretching</p><p>. Shoulder stabilization exercises</p><p>. Clavicular mobilization</p><p>Clavicular Mobilization: Upward Rotation, AP Glide and Superior Glide for AC joint, AP and PA glide for SC joint will be given to improve the subacromial space. Each set consists of 3-5 repititions and 3 sets will be given for each session of the treatment. </p><p>Group B: (Control Group)</p><p>The control group will be treated with the following treatments:</p><p>. Cryotherapy . Stretching</p><p>. Shoulder stabilization exercises.</p><p>Both the groups will be treated for 5 days in a week for 2 weeks.</p><p>Both the groups will be assessed with Range Of Motion of the shoulder and SPADI before the first session and after the last session of the treatment.</p><p>Description of Exercises:</p><p>Both the groups will be treated with the following exercises:</p><p>Cryotherapy (Ice therapy): Cold should be used to relieve pain and reduce inflammation for acute and chronic cases. Cold should be applied for 10 to 15 minutes every 2 to 3 hours for inflammation and pain and immediately after any activity that aggravates the symptoms.</p><p>Stretching: Stretching exercises are required to reduce the tightness in the muscles present due to the subacromial impingement syndrome. Stretching also increases the range of motion of the shoulder capsule due to the tightness. Each stretch should be held for 10 seconds and a gentle stretching should be felt by the subjects. Over-Stretching can tear muscles. Patient will be asked to breathe normally during the stretching exercises and not to hold the breathing. Following exercises should be performed 2-3 times per day, through pain free movements:</p><p> Codman’s Pendulum Swings</p><p> Horizontal Adduction Stretch</p><p> Triceps Stretch</p><p> Corner Stretch</p><p> Standing Adduction Stretch</p><p> Chicken stretch</p><p>Shoulder Stabilizing Exercises: Stabilizing the shoulder muscles is important to strengthen the shoulder. Complete range of motion stretching exercises prior to and following strengthening exercises will be given. It is common for the pain level to slightly increase during the first week of exercising. Continue the program for a minimum of 4 weeks. At the end of 4 weeks, if your psin is diminishing, continue the program for 2-3 weeks after your symptoms have ceased to ensure the condition does not return. Following execises will be given:</p><p> Shoulder shrugs</p><p> Shoulder Rolls</p><p> Scapular Retraction</p><p> Serratus Punches</p><p> Diagonal shoulder exercises (D1 Flexion/Extension) (D2 Flexion/Extension)</p><p>7.2.5.
