Effects of Corrective External Support and Regional Vibration Applications in Subacromial Pain Syndrome

Sponsor: Dokuz Eylul University

Summary

Sixty three individuals with chronic subacromial pain syndrome will be included in our study. In the evaluations to be made to the participants; Pain intensity will be measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), joint movement and shoulder proprioception will be measured with the inclinometer, and shoulder muscle strength will be measured with the digital hand dynamometer. In addition, functionality and disability levels will be determined by SPADI and Short form-Questionnaire for Arm, Shoulder and Hand Problems (Q-DASH). Supraspinatus tendon thickness and acromiohumeral space measurements will be made by ultrasonographic imaging. Patient satisfaction will be evaluated with the Visual Analog Patient Satisfaction Scale survey and quality of life will be evaluated with the SF-12 survey (The 12-item Short Form Survey). Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups of 21 participants each. In addition to the standard physiotherapy program, taping around the shoulder will be applied to the kinesio taping group, and localized vibration therapy around the shoulder will be applied to the localized vibration therapy group, in addition to the standard physiotherapy program. The Control Group (CG) will receive the same physiotherapy program as the other groups and will attend the same number of sessions as the other groups, accompanied by a physiotherapist. Evaluations will be made and analyzed before treatment, after 3 weeks of treatment, after 6 weeks of treatment, at 12 weeks and at the end of 24 weeks.
