Therapeutic Progressive Exercise on Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Sponsor: University of Malaga
Summary
Upper limb tendinopathies, especially the so called "shoulder impingement syndrome", is a common injury among the population. Its management usually involves active treatments, being the therapeutic progressive exercise the most important and effective modality. However, whether a certain criterion is more appropriate than another when progressing the exercise program remains unclear. We propose a new program based on progressive exercises serving as a standard approach for the management of shoulder impingement syndrome.

Neuromuscular resistance exercise program
This neuromuscular resistance exercise program will be organized in 5 stages, distributing the different phases in 2, 4, 4, 2 and 2 weeks respectively, with a frequency of 3 sessions/week. In addition, 2 weekly sessions of aerobic work with cycloergometer will be developed. The duration of each session will last 30 minutes. The parameters of load and execution speed will be modified as the exercise program progresses along the phases, with the goal of have an impact on the different aspects of the neuromuscular system.
Control exercise program with elastic band
This program is based on previous literature so that it remains comparable to the experimental program. The parameters will consist in 3 sets of 10 repetitions, 2 times/day, 3 times/week, for a total of 6 weeks.
