Study name | In patients with impingement shoulder syndrome, is the Mulligan method and kinesio taping effective in improving shoulder range of motion? |
Methods | Target sample size: 20 Recruitment status: Completed Study type: Interventional Study design: Purpose: Treatment Allocation: Randomised controlled trial Masking: Blinded (masking used) |
Participants | Impingement shoulder syndrome |
Interventions | Intervention: Mulligan method (or Mobilisation With Movement treatment or MWM treatment, which are all terms for the same procedure) and kinesio taping were done on the same group (intervention group); Control intervention: exercises that are usual or standard program for impingement shoulder syndrome. Specific exercises are as follows: pendular exercises, active pain‐limited shoulder exercises of shoulder elevation, depression, flexion, abduction, rotations; static strenghtening exercises for rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers' muscles; 10 repetitions in one set daily per type of exercise, 30 sec rest between sets;10 sessions with 24 hours between sets. |
Outcomes | 1. pain‐free active shoulder abduction was assessed using universal goniometer and expressed in degrees [before treatment, on the 5th day and on the 10th day of the treatment]. 2. pain‐free active shoulder flexion was assessed using universal goniometer and expressed in degrees [before treatment, on the 5th day and on the 10th day of the treatment]. |
