Spencer vs Positional Release Techniques for Chronic Subacromial Impingement
Sponsor: University of Management and Technology Lahore
Summary
Chronic Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is a common musculoskeletal condition characterized by shoulder pain, reduced range of motion, impaired proprioception, and functional disability. This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of the Spencer Technique and Positional Release Technique in reducing shoulder pain, improving proprioception and range of motion, and decreasing functional disability in patients with chronic subacromial impingement syndrome. A total of 32 participants will be randomly divided into two groups. Group A will receive the Spencer Technique, while Group B will receive the Positional Release Technique. The intervention will be conducted three times per week for six weeks, totaling 18 sessions. Outcomes will be assessed before and after the intervention using appropriate outcome measures for shoulder pain, proprioception, range of motion, and functional disability. Data will be analyzed using SPSS to compare the effectiveness of both interventions and determine which technique provides greater improvements in patients with chronic subacromial impingement syndrome.
