An interventional study of Rhythmic stabilization exercises and conventional treatment in Shoulder Impingement, sponsored by Riphah International University. Completed at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-07-20.

This project was a Randomized control trial conducted to check the Effects of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation on Shoulder Pain due to chronic impingement syndrome in paraplegic Manual Wheelchair users after Spinal Cord Injury so that we can have best treatment option for patients with shoulder pain due to manual wheelchair usage. duration was of 6months,convenient sampling was done, subject following eligibility criteria from Spine welfare trust center, Nawaz Sharif social security Hospital were randomly allocated in two groups via lottery method, Group A participants were given baseline treatment along with PNF exercises , Group B participants were given baseline treatment upto 6 weeks and 3 sessions per, post intervention assessment was done after 6 weeks, by self-generated questionnaire (WUSPI) wheel chair users shoulder pain index, (SRQ) Shoulder rating questionnaire and physical assessment by 2 special test was done, data was analyzed by using SPSS version 25.
In paraplegic manual wheelchair users Shoulder pain is most common problem after spinal cord injury. Due to wheelchair propulsion, weight relief task and other household activities repetitive load induced on upper limb and put substantial load in particular on shoulder.In spinal cord injured patients shoulder pain is because of over use of upper limb and shoulder during wheelchair related activities and personal care activities. less stability and slight muscle mass leads toward pain in their life at some point because of Muscular imbalance and later on shoulder secondary impingement syndrome. This study compared the rhythmic stabilization technique from PNF exercises with conventional treatment on experimental and control group to see the difference in reduction of pain and disability.
707 studies on the registry are indexed under Shoulder Pain; 152 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 22 is below the median of 60 across 561 interventional studies indexed under Shoulder Pain.

Exclusion Criteria:
baseline physical therapy conventional treatment along Rhythmic stabilization exercises
Other: Rhythmic stabilization exercises
Baseline physical therapy conventional treatment
Other: conventional treatment
PNF techniques and Conventional Treatment: Experimental group received rhythmical Stabilization Technique on shoulder joint on all shoulder movements up to 1 minute in supine position For stability of joint ,re-establish dynamic rotator cuff stability and to enhance MS strength and decrease pain. Conventional Treatment: heating pad for 15 minutes, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and after that shoulder stretching of upper trapezius muscle, pectorals and levator scapule and isometric exercises of rotator cuff muscles performed in supine .( 10 sec hold and 10 to 15 reps)..
Conventional Treatment: heating pad for 15 minutes, TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) and after that shoulder stretching of upper trapezius muscle, pectorals and levator scapule and isometric exercises of rotator cuff muscles performed in supine .( 10 sec hold and 10 to 15 reps)..
Wheelchair User's Shoulder Pain Index
The Wheelchair User's Shoulder Pain Index (WUSPI) was designed to measure shoulder pain in individuals who use wheelchairs. On the visual analog scale from ' 0' to '10 ' estimate level of pain with different activities
Time frame: 6th Week
Shoulder rating Questionnaire
Shoulder rating questionnaire (SRQ) was designed to assess the severity of symptoms related to and the functional status of the shoulder. It includes domains of global assessment, pain, daily activities, recreational and athletic activities, work, satisfaction, and areas for improvement. Each domain is graded separately and is weighted to arrive at the total score
Time frame: 6th Week
