Protocol summary

Study aim
To evaluate the comparative effectiveness of muscle energy technique and posterior shoulder mobilization with movement for symptoms severity in patients with shoulder pain syndrome.
Design
Pragmatic parallel, double blinded, randomized clinical trial. The sample of 40 patients will be randomized through online random number table in 2 groups (20 patients/ group)
Settings and conduct
Data will be collected from Department of Physical Therapy, Bkhtawar Amin Trust and Teaching Hospital, Multan, Pakistan.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Patients diagnosed with unilateral subacromial pain for minimum of 3 months. Painful arc in shoulder abduction range 70° -120°, Positive shoulder abduction stress test, At least three positive physical tests from followings Neer impingement test, Hawkins kneddy test, Drop arm test, relocation test and apprehension test. Pain aggravates upon resisted muscle testing in abduction and lateral rotation. Exclusion Criteria: Patients potentially not willing to participate in study, Patients with recent history of fall fracture and shoulder surgery, Degenerative joint disease or dislocation of affected shoulder, Cervical radiculopathies, Frozen shoulder,Bursitis ,Associated systemic diseases
Intervention groups
Group 1: Muscle Energy Technique; Post isometric muscle relaxation technique of METs will be used to improve outcome measures in patients with subacromial pain syndrome. Group 2: Posterior shoulder mobilization with movement; Mulligan concept of mobilization with movement will be used to address symptoms severity
Main outcome variables
Shoulder pain severity; shoulder physical disability; shoulder range of motion

Randomization description
The 56 patients diagnosed with shoulder pain syndrome referred by the orthopedic surgeons will be screened for eligibility. The 40 patients meeting the eligibility criteria will be randomized into two equal groups. The patients will be randomly allocated (20/group) through online computer generated random number table. Every subject will be assigned a random number from the table on recruitment. Online table will be generated by using this site: https://www.random.org/sequences/?mode=advanced Smallest value: 1 Largest value: 40 The format in Column: 2 The sequence of numbers 20 will be randomly allocated in column 1, and 20 will be allocated in column 2
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
The outcome assessor will be the consultant physical therapist of setting department of physical therapy, Bakhtawar Amin Trust and Teaching Hospital, Multan. Outcomes will be measured at baseline before starting treatment and end of treatment after 6 week. Outcome assessor will be unaware about treatment given to any particular subject. Data will be analysed by statistician without knowing the treatment regime received both groups

Intervention groups

1

Description
Muscle Energy Technique: Post isometric muscle relaxation technique of METs will be used to improve outcome measures in patients with subacromial pain syndrome. Patient will be in supine lying position and will be asked for 7-10 seconds sustained contraction of muscle against the therapist hold by using 20-30% force of body. Then therapist will move the limb passively in shoulder range until new barrier will be found and same procedure will be repeated to eliminate the barrier. Patients will be treated on alternative days for 6 weeks.
Category
Rehabilitation

2

Description
Posterior shoulder mobilization with movement: One hand of the physical therapist stabilizes the patients shoulder girdle. While other hand will perform a posterior-lateral glide of the humeral head. Patients will be asked to raise the affected arm to find the new point of pain onset and therapist will sustain the gliding force. The therapist will maintain the gliding at right angle of movement throughout the entire active range performed by patients. The entire procedure of mobilization will be pain free and patients will be instructed to report any pain and discomfort.
