Official Title: Effects of Mobilization-with-Movement on Pain and Range of Motion in Unilateral Shoulder Impingement Syndrome: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Brief Summary: Controversy exists regarding the effectiveness of manual therapy techniques for the management of impingement syndrome. However, no adequately powered clinical trials have examined the effects of mobilization-with-movement. The purpose of the current study was to perform a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of real MWM to a group receiving a sham intervention on shoulder pain at different moments and active shoulder range of motion in an adequately powered sample of patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
