this study will be conducted to investigate instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization On Pain, Function And Proprioception In Patients With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Shoulder impingement is a clinical syndrome in which soft tissues become painfully entrapped in the area of the shoulder joint. Patients present with pain on elevating the arm or when lying on the affected side. Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint in orthopedic practice, and impingement syndrome is one of the more common underlying diagnoses. On the pathophysiological level, it can have various functional, degenerative, and mechanical causes. The impingement hypothesis assumes a pathophysiological mechanism in which different structures of the shoulder joint come into mechanical conflict. The decision to treat conservatively or surgically is generally made on the basis of the duration and severity of pain, the degree of functional disturbance, and the extent of structural damage. The goal of treatment is to restore pain-free and powerful movement of the shoulder joint.Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a popular treatment for myofascial restriction which is applied using specially designed instruments to provide a mobilizing effect to soft tissue (e.g., scar tissue and myofascial adhesion) to decrease pain and improve range of motion (ROM) and function. eighty patients will be allocated randomly into two equal groups; the experimental one will receive IASTM and the control will receive traditional therapy for eight weeks.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization | Experimental | the patients will receive instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization three times a week for eight weeks |
|
| traditional therapy | Active Comparator | the patients will receive traditional therapy three times a week for eight weeks |
|
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization | Other | The subject will be treated with instrumented assisted soft tissue mobilization, applied to the upper and lower fibers of Pectoral, Trapezius (upper, middle and lower), Rhomboids major , Rhomboids minor, Teres minor, Teres major, and Latissimus dorsi muscles. The IASTM technique was performed for 20 seconds parallel to the muscle fibers followed by 20 seconds perpendicular to the muscle fibers of each one of the selected muscle |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| pain intensity | pain will be measured by visual analogue scale. It is a vertical or horizontal 100 mm line graduated by different levels of pain, starting from 0 (no pain) till 100 (worst pain) | up to eight weeks |
| shoulder disability | The Arabic version of Disabilities of arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) will be used for assessing shoulder function. DASH questionnaire includes 30 items with score from 0 to 100. A score of 0 represents no disability, while a score of 100 represents the most sever. | up to eight weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| shoulder range of motion | inclinometer will be used to assess shoulder range of motion. | up to eight weeks |
| shoulder proprioception | inclinometer will be used to assess shoulder proprioception |
