Shoulder Impingement and PT Treatment
What does the Research Say?
Studies have shown that designing a specific evidence-based program for each patient is more effective and beneficial compared to a more cookie cutter approach using the same interventions for all patients with shoulder impingement (Ebuagh et al., 2010).
Factors to be considered in prescribing interventions:
Classify the impairments believed to be causative to the individual's pain and functional limitations.
Create an impairment based restoration program.
PHYSICAL THERAPY INTERVENTIONS
For an effective anterior shoulder stretch, place the hand over the head, shoulder in 90° of abduction and 90° of external rotation, and lean forward on a door frame (Ebuagh et al, 2010).
Scaption with thumb- up exercise for strengthening.
Y- exercise. Standing with the arms at the sides, move the shoulders into extension against resistance of an elastic band. Studies have shown better results in electromyographic activities for strengthening the trapezius muscle (Ebaugh et al, 2010).
EXERCISES FOR SHOULDER IMPINGEMENT
Eccentric Strengthening Exercises
Full can scaption with a dumbbell (starting position must be pain-free). Eccentric external rotation using a dumbbell in sidelying position.
(Studies show that adding eccentric exercises to traditional shoulder rehab protocols can increase strength and decrease pain (Maenhout et al, 2012; Bernhardsson et al, 2011.)
PNF Paired with Trigger Point Release
Trigger point release of the subscapularis Contract/relax of the subscapularis to move into greater external
rotation PNF D2 flexion pattern
This treatment was found to decrease pain and increase glenohumeral ER plus overhead reach (AlDajah & Unnikrishnan, 2014).
PT and Shoulder Impingement: A New
ApproachMy Physical Therapy Evaluation:
History (DOI, MOI, Past Treatments, Surgery etc) Establish baselines:
Pain levels/Location of PainROM (Active/Passive)StrengthSpecial Test/Concordant Sign/Functional TestDevelop Provisional Diagnosis
DerangementDysfunction
Test Hypothesis (Apply Mechanical Forces/Strategies)Re-Assess BaselinesConfirm/Deny Hypothesis
Shoulder ImpingementDerangement:
Symptoms rapidly changeable (i.e can get better/worse quickly)
Symptoms can be constant or intermittentROM rapidly changeableCan be acute, sub-acute or chronic lesion Can become dysfunctions over timeRx: Reduce the derangement
Directional PreferenceAnatomical Cause:
Disruption of Joint SurfacesEncroachment of Meniscoids in joint space

Shoulder ImpingementDysfunction:Symptoms (when present) are more consistent in natureSymptoms are more intermittent (no pain when tissue is on
slack)ROM is consistentPain is usually found at End Range (stretch short/tight
tissue)Lesion must be 10-12 weeks or older (mostly chronic
lesions)Rx: Remodel TissueAnatomical Cause
Joint adhesions/ContractureMaladaptive muscle shorteningScar tissue formation
