Effect of High Intensity Laser on Shoulder Impingement.
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
Treatment for shoulder impingement is conservative initially, Rehabilitation programs generally consist of exercise therapy and manual therapy that provide relief from symptoms of impingement. High-intensity laser therapy used recently and was found to be effective in the short term in the treatment of pain and disability in patients with impingement. This study aims to * Investigate the effect of high intensity power laser therapy on sonographic measurement in the adolescent suffering from shoulder impingement syndrome. * Investigate the effect of high intensity power laser therapy on pain in the adolescent suffering from shoulder impingement syndrome. * Investigate the effect of high intensity power laser therapy on shoulder function in the adolescent suffering from shoulder impingement syndrome. RESEARCH QUESTION: Does using high intensity power laser affects shoulder dysfunction in adolescent with shoulder impingement syndrome?

Interventions
high intensity laser
the patient will be in supine position with shoulder uncovered from clothes and wearing laser protective eye glass to protect eye from laser radiation, the dose will be selected from device pathologies list programs number thirty-four with 30% power, frequency continuous, density 16 j/cm2, time automatically adjusted by the device according to the width of scanning area ( superiorly from the acromioclavicular joint down to end of biceps tendon and medially from the coracoid process to the middle fiber of deltoid laterally) and the infrared will be ON.
manual therapy
manual therapy (mulligan shoulder abduction, deep transverse friction technique on the supraspinatus tendon, scapular mobilization, caudal and posterior humeral mobilization) three session weekly over 5 weeks.
exercise therapy
therapeutic exercises (rotator cuff strengthening, cools ex's, serratus punch supine ex, pectoralis minor flexibility (focused and gross stretch) and posterior capsule modified sleeper stretching ex's from side)
