Comparison of the Effects of Home Exercise and Isokinetic Exercise Program in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Patients

Comparison of the Effects of Home Exercise Program and Isokinetic Exercise Program on Pain, Muscle Strength, Functionality, Sense of Proprioception and Quality of Life in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome Patients

The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effects of home exercise program and isokinetic exercise program on pain, muscle strength, functionality, proprioception sensation and quality of life in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.

The study was designed prospectively. A total of 50 patients with subacromial impingement syndrome according to clinical and MRI findings with shoulder pain for at least 3 months were included in the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. The first group (isokinetic exercise group, n = 25) was given isokinetic exercise. The second group(home exercise group, n=25) was given home exercise program. Patients were evaluated before and after treatment and 3 months after the end of treatment. In the evaluation, VAS, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index, Constant Murley Scoring, Shoulder Disability Questionnaire, Health Assessment Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Humic Norm II isokinetic device were used. At statistically evaluation of data Student T Test and Mann Whitney U tests were used. In qualitative datas comparison Ki-Kare Test was used. Significance was evaluated at the level of p< 0.05.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Shoulder pain and functional disability at least 6 months

Exclusion Criteria:

• Instability of shoulder, Stage 2-3 adhesive capsulitis, tendinitis or bursitis, cervical radiculopathy, underwent surgery, norological diseases
