the Thickness of the Muscles and Pain in Impingement Syndrome

The Relationship Between the Thickness of the Muscles Stabilizing the Scapula and Pain in Impingement Syndrome

Pain intensity will be measured with visual analog scale. Sonographic severity grade of shoulder impingement syndrome, serratus anterior muscle, upper trapezius and middle trapezius will be measured with USG in patients diagnosed with impingement and meeting the criteria and healthy volunteers.

Patients diagnosed with impingement and meeting the criteria will be included, while the healthy group will consist of hospital staff who do not have shoulder pain and who are not diagnosed with a shoulder-related disease. Pain intensity will be measured with VAS (visual analog scale), the sonographic severity grade of shoulder impingement syndrome, the serratus anterior muscle, the upper trapezius and the middle trapezius will be measured with USG.
