ABSTRACT
Background: The article is about effectiveness of full can exercise in shoulder impingement syndrome. The study was aimed to compare the effect of full can exercise and eccentric training along with conventional physiotherapy management in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS). The pain occurs because of compression and mechanical abrasion of the subacromial structures against the anterior undersurface of the acromion and coracoacromial ligament, especially during elevation of the arm. The supraspinatus tendon is usually the most affected structure in SIS due to its location just under the coracoacromial ligament. The aim of our study was to compare the effectiveness of full can exercise and eccentric training on quality of life in patients with SIS.
Materials and Methods: In the study, both group A (full can exercise group) and group B (eccentric training group) consisted of 15 patients each with SIS. The participants of both the groups received conventional physiotherapy along with the specific exercises assigned to their groups. Treatment was given in the supervision of physiotherapist for 30 minutes a session, 5 days a week, for total 4 weeks duration in the both groups. Pre and Post assessment was done using Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS).
Result: Before intervention, both the groups demonstrated similar OSS scores. After therapy, there was a statistically significant improvement in both the groups. There was a significant difference between the two groups in OSS scores after the exercise program.
Conclusion: The study result reveals that full can exercise is more beneficial than eccentric training.
Key words: Full can exercise, Eccentric training, Shoulder impingement syndrome.
