Handgrip Strength Exercises Modulate Shoulder Pain, Function, and Strength of Rotator Cuff Muscles of Patients with Primary Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Impingement syndrome was shown to be associated with shoulder pain in 44-70% of patients worldwide. It usually occurs due to imbalance and insufficient activation of the rotator cuff (RC) muscles.

Aim

This study explores the relative effects of handgrip-strengthening exercises on shoulder function, pain, strength, and active range of motion as part of the treatment program for the patients with primary subacromial impingement syndrome.

Materials and methods

A total of 58 patients aged 18-50 years with primary subacromial impingement syndrome were randomly enrolled to participate in this single-blind randomized clinical trial. Out of them, only forty patients have eligibly matched the inclusion criteria and randomly assigned to one of two groups to undergo a
